Interesting spider walking on my keyboard at work.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Very tiny (about 1/4 inch), SCREAMING BRIGHT yellow. No spots, stripes, or other details. Threw it on an inside area of the building that has plants.

I should buy a digital camera.

1. Sounds pretty!

Yes, you should buy a digital camera. And you should buy one for me, too! ;)

3. He's probably headed for the beach

If I was in Brazil, that's where I'd be going

I work at Barra da Tijuca, a very affluent beach district

And that spider decides to visit a software company? Is there a species called Nerd Spider?

9. Sure is

4. A digital camera need not set you back much...

Many older models can be had for less than $80

5. OK I like you

I find spiders interesting too and will pick them up and toss them outside after checking them out. :D

6. If it was bigger, I'd say it was a Golden Orb spider

We had one in the garden and it was beautiful!

7. Isn't it amazing for a spider that size how quickly he can navigate

that web.... kinda like some of us... don't get bit.... I have heard that particular spider is not benign.... not at all.



Black and Yellow Argiope or "Garden Spider / Banana Spider"
A very large common spider in North America. Usually hangs in webs with its head facing the ground. It is brightly colored. Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow. However, its venom is not near as potent. Its bite causes local pain and redness with blisters forming. This bite usually resolves within 24 hours except for the bite mark.
