It's time for another podcast about the amazing diversity of wildlife found here in the southeastern U.S.  This episode features the much maligned but absolutely amazing argiope spider.  This incredible spider may cause some of you a little or a lot of anxiety, but one thing is for sure, this time of year they are  easy to notice and identify due to their large size and impressively beautiful orb web!  Hopefully,  y'all will listen and learn about this wonderful and beneficial spider, and perhaps come away with a different perspective and (dare I say it?) maybe even an appreciation...Here's some great websites to learn more:Marvin's Writin' Spider Videohttps://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/big-yellow-spiders-in-south-carolina/https://extensionentomology.tamu.edu/insects/black-and-yellow-argiope-zipper-spider-corn-spider/https://www.cnet.com/news/spider-web-artificial-swedish-university-agriculture/https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/12/24/scientists-can-now-make-synthetic-spider-web-silkhttps://www.gearpatrol.com/tech/a466684/bolt-threads-synthetic-spider-silk/You can follow us on Facebook at Nature Nook PhotographyEmail us at [email protected] listen directly from our website at https://walkinonthewildside.buzzsprout.comAs always, we hope you enjoy listening to our podcast and welcome your emails, comments, and feedback.   Subscribe to our podcasts and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Audible, Spotify, iHeart Radio, TuneIn, Stitcher, and more!  So get out there and start "Walkin' on the Wild Side"!We'd love to hear from you with your questions and comments!
