what am I?
Hi,
Now that I have looked through your site and feel completely crawly, can you ID this awesome spider? My son found it and 2 others in our yard and has taken to tossing worms into the webs to feed them. This by the way is really cool to watch. Anyways, is it one I should be weary of? Thanks in advance.

Hi Barbie,
Your Cross Spider is also known as a Garden Spider, Araneus diadematus. It is a harmless European import.
