How do you care for a garden spider over winter? The yellow garden spider (argiope aurantia) is probably my favorite spider and I love when one takes up residence in my garden throughout the warmer months. I never considered caring for one when it gets too cold outside and then releasing it when it warms up.

I just put it in my apartment near my computer. They usually make a web from the ceiling and hopefully catch a few things. To be honest, some may die from starvation, because I don't actively buy them any live insects to eat, but I consider that somewhat of a better fate than freezing to death. They usually go missing after a couple months, I never really know if they die or they just end up migrating into a crawlspace or leaving once the winter clears up. I wish them the best though :-/
