What are zipper spiders?

Zipper spiders are also known as “yellow garden spiders”.

These spiders can be quite large, with the females growing up to 30mm in length.

Males are much smaller, only growing to be about 8mm.

The abdomen of these spiders is black and bright yellow in color and they are covered in silver hairs.

They create circular webs with an intricate white zigzag pattern in the center of it.

The zigzag pattern is thought to help attract prey to the web.
