I posted a photo yesterday and asked who could properly identify what it was. Thank you for those who participated.
In case you missed my post, you can find it here: Can You Identify This Photo And now for the answer.
SPIDER SAC!
Snapped the photo on my fence and was amazed at the size of it. It was actually a yellow garden spider sac. So I left it alone to hatch.
These are good and harmless spiders for the garden. The spider species Argiope aurantia is commonly known as the yellow garden spider. The yellow garden spider does not live in very dense location clusters like other orb spiders such as the golden orb web spider.
The yellow garden spider keeps a clean orderly web in comparison to the cluttered series of webs built and abandoned by groups of golden orb spiders.

Beautiful macro, thanks for sharing
Did you read the question for this reveal post? It is above in purple.
I did not see the first post of this, but it is was a great choice.
Thanks, the link is above if you want to see it. 🙂
I remember this photo. 😉 This is the one I was talking about. I did guess correctly. Kind of. So that is not an orb weaver then? I haven’t seen mine since the rains.. I hope she comes back.
Yes this is my garden spider on the back fence. Not an orb. I see them every year.
So that means I mislabeled mine last year. Thank you!
Cool! I have never seen these before but I guessed right.
Congrats Dawn, I see them ever year and always leave them alone. They are good ones.
spider sac – I guessed!
but I’ve seen them before so it was at least an informed guess!
You got it right Doc, congrats! 🙂
time to rent that airplane banner!
I think I said something to do with the spider, dear friend …. a very nice example of a spider
Yes you did, this is what you said….
I think it has something to do with the spider because I see the spider web.
This is the garden spider that laid the egg sac on my fence.
Such an interesting spider! I knew it’s something bug-related, because it looked scary, haha.
I see these each year in my garden, very pretty colors for a spider.
Wonderful spider. I guessed right after a long time
Thanks, I love these spiders in the garden.
I assumed he was a spider, but I didn’t think he would be so beautiful
This is why I don’t mind the garden spiders in my garden. They eat the bugs and they are beautiful.
