The spider is native to all of the states in the United States of America except for Alaska. It also may be found among the shrubs of Central America, Mexico and the southern parts of Canada along the U.S. border.

Other common names include 'banana spider', 'corn spider' and 'writing spider'.

What is the scientific name of the black-and-yellow argiope spider?

'Argiope aurantia' is the binomial, Latin or scientific name of the black-and-yellow argiope spider. It's thought that the distinct body markings and colors are intended to mislead potential predators into thinking they're dealing with wasps. But this spider has three very effective defenses and offenses of its own. It builds a clean, orderly but very sticky web. It has poison in its fangs. It immobilizes prey already incapacitated by the first two defenses, by quickly surrounding and smothering them in silk, for leisurely eating afterwards.

Are Giant Spiders Real?

Camel Spiders are real, but they're not spiders. They're solifugids, another type of arachnid. They get quite large, but not as big as they apparently look in many email forwards, which are optical illusions caused by holding them close to the camera. As for the biggest spider, it depends on what you include. If you only count "true" spiders, the tarantula (a mygalomorph) does not count. It would likely be something from the nephila or argiope groups of spiders. (I believe in North America, the largest is either Argiope aurantia or Nephila clavipes, common spiders)
