Here is a very large yellow spider in our garden. We are pretty sure it is a whitebanded crab spider which is NOT poisonous. Click picture to see this guy up close and check out the hairy legs.
When I first saw him I thought it was the sunflower starting to bloom way too early. I checked back a few hours later and it was sitting in the top of a different sunflower seedling. I now think this may be a hunting strategy. Make yourself look like a yummy flower to other bugs and then when they check you out, you EAT them!
