Most of the spiders where I'm from (Central Iowa) are small, blandly colored, and able to be found in your house during winter. However, when spring rolls around, we are able to find "garden spiders." HUGE yellow fellas with black patches on their backs. Why are they so different in size from other spiders of the region? Where do they go in the winter?!

That's the one. Why are they such a huge size when there aren't any other spiders around that get to be so large?

Yeah it looks like they poorly sewed the center of the web together!
