St Andrews Cross Spider, Argiope keyserlingi
Where: In my house on the pantry window. The spider was there for 2 weeks.
How big?: It was bigger than my mouth, about 10 mm which means it must be female spider, because female spiders are normally 10-14mm. Males are smaller 5 mm.
Venomous: This spider is rather timid and non-aggressive and is assumed to be virtually harmless to humans; it is very common yet very few human bitings by it are on record.
The St Andrews spider is my favorite.
