Notes:
One morning while I was taking pictures of butterflies landing on the flowers outside my friend's home, I came within a few inches of walking into this spiders web. Luckily it was at face height and was able to see it before this happened. Someone I showed the picture to said these spiders are not venomous, but I forgot to ask her what was the species name.
