I took some shots of these spiders in my parents garden.

Really :cry: they look like orbs

 

[hornet]

well some Argiope can be called orbs but they are very similar to our st Andrews cross spiders. The 1st 2 pics are of a species in the same family as our flower and crab spiders so quite different to orbs.

Thanks for clarifying the genus!

I'm sure st Andrews cross spiders and Orbs are not harmful to us.
Am I right hornet?

auzlizardking is correct, neither are dangerous, will hurt and some people may have more of a reaction but nothing to worry about.
