Banded Garden Spider

The Banded Garden Spider is a people friendly arachnid. They really don't get cranky unless it is a female with egg sacks in web and you really irritate it. Don't try this with a recluse or widow however! As you can see, the human hand does not constitute part of the Banded's food chain. He is quite a light footed walker, I could barely feel it marching about. He was very content exploring to see if he could find a place for his new web. After this I happily returned him to the location he called home prior to the short displacement.
