I see my minion has found you and is keeping watch over you as instructed, Ian! LOL ;)

I have no idea what they're actually called but they make a zig-zag pattern in their web so I call them "zipper" spiders.

I don't think they're dangerous... unless you're on the menu!

I don't know but I'm convinced if it has eight eyes and eight legs it can't be good.

There was a joke "What did Little Miss Muffet and Sadam Hussein have in common?

They both had Kurds in their way.

It looks just like this spider that I shot over in Okinawa, Japan while staying at Okuma military resort in July 2010.

this is a Golden silk orb-weaver spider and is very common in subtropical and tropical regions. It's very similar and closely related to the "Banana Spider." Not a huge fan of spiders and a bit phobic because of bad experiences with them. I leave them alone and they leave me alone. But if they get too close to my personal space, then it's goodbye spider...

I live in S FL, we get a bunch of spiders. You get used to them, I don't like walking into the webs much.
As the story goes, when you squish one it smells like bananas.
I have seen these as big as your hand, with 10 ft webs. This one was about the size of my palm.
