This banded argiope is an exact match. I attempted to email this site, but the photos I had wouldnt upload. I am in Corona, California. The weather here is in the high 90s with a touch of humidity. I am wondering if this is normal climate for such a spider. I have never seen one like this before. Needless to say, my daughter screamed loud enough to wake my husband up at 8 am sunday morning.

As south as u can get in Canada, near Point Pelee National Park . While I was outside the otherday I seen a spider like this and cannot seem to figure out what it is.. The one I found was metallic silver with no markings on the body.. The legs were the same although the body seemed somewhat flat.. I have emailed this website and a conservationalist at Point Pelee in hopes for a response as to the type of spider I seen.. I have never seen a spider like this in my location, when we spotted it I quickly ran in the house to get the camera. I'm glad I was able to catch it on film because it ran away pretty quick... Does anyone know, is this spider common for my area? We have many many bird species here that are rare, Point Pelee is a migratory rest spot for many many birds and butterfly, which made me think this spider is not from our area and it to possibly migrated here???
