The commom garden spider aka. Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Banana Spider or Corn Spider – is totally harmless to humans and fantastic for your garden. This spider lived in my roses all summer.
Not only are they gorgeous, but they are totally useful in the ecosystem of a garden. Like the smallest detail, they can make all the difference in the grand scheme where other pesky pests are concerned – they provide a natural defense to many unwanted garden insects which otherwise would be eating your blooms!
