What is a "garden spider"?
A garden spider, also known as an orb-weaver spider, is a skilled weaver that constructs intricate circular webs to catch its prey. These spiders are commonly found in gardens and fields, where they patiently wait for insects to become entangled in their sticky silk strands. With their distinct markings and intricate web patterns, garden spiders are both beneficial for controlling pests and fascinating to observe in their natural habitats.
