Not a decoration. Happy Halloween.
This one was hanging off a fence at a job in Northlake. Big, dramatic, and completely harmless. Garden spiders like this one eat the mosquitoes and flies you don't want around anyway.
The ones worth knowing are black widows and recluses, and they don't hang out in the open like this. They stay in woodpiles, meter boxes and garage corners.
Tomorrow night, take a flashlight to your porch before the kids come by.
Have a good one out there.
