You getting the Joros where you live? Those asian invaders are *everywhere* at our house. They're also really cool-looking, like an Aztec god or something. Freaking huge as well, but not as big as the tropical Golden Orb Weavers. They eat all kinds of horrible shit like wasps and stink bugs, but are displacing our native orb weavers. Here's a couple pics I took of one eating a yellow jacket: https://pic8.co/sh/viGHHI.jpg https://pic8.co/sh/1ujXO2.jpg Couldn't get a good pic of the silver pattern on its back without sticking my head in its web/holly tree: https://pic8.co/sh/EicpfL.jpg
