More than likely you have seen a St. Andrews Cross Spider.Venom toxicity - the bite of the St Andrews Cross is of low risk (non-toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders. ---- Spider Identification - adult 1/4" to 1/2" in body length - abdomen striped yellow and brown. The St Andrews Cross Spider usually sits, upside down, in the middle of its web forming a cross. ---- Habitat - this spider is a web-weaver usually found in summer in garden areas around the home. It is considered beneficial as it spins a large web to snare flying insects, such as flies and mosquitoes.
No, its acutally not harmless i did months of research.
It MIGHT be the St Andrews Cross Spider. Their bite is at low risk to humans and they are not aggressive.
The black onyx is used for protection, as is the cross, and is worn by those who feel the need to ward off any negative energy. The black onyx is place in the cross for double protection, silver is used because it is pure and can also ward off negative energy.
