A Scary Looking Little Garden Protector

Black and Yellow Argiope (Argiope Aurantia)
Last night I was in the garden and a grasshopper
had just fallen into the web. I checked back
this morning and the spider had it all
wrapped up ready to eat.

Another one in a different part of the
garden. I guess it hadn't caught any breakfast
or maybe it already had it. This one is over
by the tomato plants and knockout roses.

Such a cheery face in the garden.

Another bud on the azalea.
