Visitor to my garden. Creepy crawler warning.

:shock: Is that a banana spider? I think I watched a YouTube video about them (no idea why! :lol:) and they're BIG!

(Not a banana spider as in a Brazilian Wandering Spider found in bananas, if it was one of those I'd have run screaming from the room! :shock:)

That is one incredible looking spider. I am not too bad with big spiders but would feel cautious around that one as it looks so unusual.

Amazing photo btw.
 
Lovely :)

Their close relative (Argiope bruennichi aka wasp spider) can be found in the south of England. I wish they'd come to Scotland, I'd love those in my garden!
