Finn Fan Fix
So….today’s Finn Fan Fix is not about Finn.
Instead – I am going to give you some learnin’.
Cuz I’m generous like that.
CAUTION: if you have an overwhelming fear of spiders….abort abort abort. Scroll back up.
Still with me?
Meet…Argiope (pronounced “are GUY – o – pe”) aurantia. AKA the Garden Argiope or Black and Yellow Argiope. Or…more poetically – the Golden Orb Weaver!
He (she?) wasn’t in the garden on Friday morning but had spun its web by the time we fed at dinner.
I kept trying to get a “better’ picture…thinking this was his/her bottom side.
No “face”.
Blurry.
Pretty good view of all the legs and stuff but…I was looking for a face.
It’s remarkably difficult to get a good photo with an iPhone camera when you’re too askeered to duck under the plants to get closer. When you have to do full zoom on the telephoto – you gotta hold really still. Apparently not my thing!
So – I gave up.
I googled him and discovered that Argiope aurantia actually means “guilded silver face”. Which means that my first picture…
…WAS the picture I needed.
The things you learn!
So…he sort of looks like my ponies when they’re wearing their fly masks, don’t you think? 😉
Big belly and all! 😉

Yikes thank you for the lesson. Now I will know if they are looking me in the eye before they bite! What does Finn think of it?
Right? Freaky face, for sure! Finn didn’t even see him! Thankfully. He is NOT a fan of bugs!! 🙂
Looking forward to your live video this evening! That is a pretty spider…if there is such a thing. As long as it’s outside, I’m all good with spiders. Not so much inside! 🙂
Yes – he is pretty! As long as I know where he is! 🙂 Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Very entertaining and interesting. I love to look at spiders if they are pretty. If they are just black, brown or gray, forgeddaboutit! See you tonight.
Well – this one was definitely pretty!! Thanks, Karen! 🙂
oh my goodness….I am not a fan of spiders, even if they are doing something that is sorta good…..
How big was that guy…or girl…..
I got in the backseat of a friends car in Hawaii one time, looked toward the window to see a huge Cane spider that was at least 5 inches around. I ended up in the front seat!!
Oh – heck no! THAT I couldn’t deal with! 😳😳😳 He/she wasn’t huge – 2 – 3 inches long, maybe! And I didn’t walk into the web or anything so I didn’t have to have a freak-out!! Thanks, Faith! 🙂
Oh, I can see the similarities to your ponies and the spider lololol
LOL – me, too! 🙂
