Yellow Garden Spider

Pawnee Lake SRA

Several have asked if this spider is poisonous.

I'm an amateur photographer. I'm not a biologist, a spiderologist or whatever those who study spiders are called.
I most certainly am not a doctor, or member of the medical profession.

The best I can do is suggest you check Wikipedia.
That Wikipedia entry lists poisonous spiders.
This spider does not seem to be on their list.
However, for goodness sakes, if you have been bitten by one of them, and are concerned, call or visit a medical facility.

If you are on the internet, (you're here aren't you? DUH) just look the dang thing up yourself, instead of expecting everyone else to do it for you!
