I found this one in my greenhouse. It has enlarged 5 fold since I have placed a light above him. it is not timid, I would like to know if it is poisonous?
I think I have found the id of this spider. A second opinion would be appreciated. Argiope trifasciata (Banded Garden Spider) Picture ID 4708
Hi. That ventral pattern more matches Argiope aurantia, could be wrong, they can be similar. https://bugguide.net/node/view/1592447/bgimage Dorsal view they are quite different. Here is the venter of my banded garden spider: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32083154@N02/6166267119/in/dateposted/ Check out the male by her back leg.
