Keeper of the Garden

I discovered this pretty lady watching over our garden by walking into her very strong web early one morning. She’s keeping a watchful eye for mosquitos and all the bad bugs just outside the door. She’s learned where we walk and has adjusted her web accordingly. She’s an orb weaver, Argiope aurant, A very beneficial spider to have around. She’s about 3″ long, leg to leg. The webs are very strong, I’ve named her Tiffany.
