Black & Yellow Argiope Spider

As I was walking through the gardens, I spotted this scary spider and cool web.  I Googled spiders of NC and found out it is a garden spider and loves to eat large bugs.  I decided it could remain in the garden and do what it loves best.

Queen of the Night

Queen of the Night blooms about 2:30 a.m.  This was definitely a challenge photographing in total darkness, but it was fun.  The bloom is approximately 10 inches wide.
