Thanks, Melody. I found one a few weeks ago and was able to snap a picture. I don't know what I was more impressed with -- the incredible color of the spider or the zigzag web. I asked my Garden Club pals if they knew what it was. Then I looked on Dave's Garden website. Thanks for the great article. My photo of her certainly matches the ones in your article. I'm going to think up a name for her myself.
