Orb Weaver
The spider behind the classic geometric web you walk into in late summer. Common across Ontario gardens, decks, and exterior wall corners August through October.
Body 5-25 mm depending on species. Round abdomen, often patterned. Builds the textbook spiral wheel web. Sits in the centre of the web during the day in some species, hides at the edge in others.
Garden edges, exterior wall corners, deck railings, between fence posts, in shrubs. Webs are usually built each evening and taken down each morning, but a productive site may be re-used for days.
No. Orb weavers are not aggressive and bites are extremely rare. The walking-into-the-web sensation is the main complaint, not actual risk.
Exterior perimeter treatment around the foundation, deck, and entry points clears most orb weaver activity for the season. Existing webs need to be brushed away once the spider is gone.
