I can’t draw, but decided to give it a go anyway.

For the first comic in my life, I think it went pretty well.

I’m petty sure, they place webs wherever people walk.

Cute comic!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Beautiful picture by the way

That’s a female Argiope aurantia. Found from Colombia to Canada. Fairly chill, they only bite big animals when hurt, and even then the bite is less concerning than a bee sting. If you’re lucky you might even see a brown egg sac nearby.

Just don’t grow attached to her to the point that you give her a name, those spiders are short-lived. RIP my pet Argiope argentata Kumoko (;_;)7

Thank you for your wonderful and informative comment! I went out back to see if she was still there / look for an egg sack, and snuck another pic. She’s quick! Ran up the fence as soon as she saw me!

RIP Kumoko.
