All (nearly all) spiders are venomous, but not dangerously so. Argiope is no threat to humans.

I steer clear of big spiders, or really spiders in general anyway.

You are really making me work now James.

I looked up a photo of A. bruennichi, and said to myself "I have seen them". So I did a little more research and it appears that the spiders that I have seen around here are in fact the banded garden spider Argiope trifasciata. A. bruennichi, as far as I can tell does not live in the U.S.

Thanks, Terry. I'll look up A. trifasciata and extend my knowledge a little.....I've never heard of that one.

It looks like they could easily be mistaken one for the other.

Quite easy for us Europeans as we only have A. bruennichi!
