I think bricks is what one of the 3 pigs houses was made of.

Looks like there is mortar between the bricks as well.

Spider spider on the wall,
Have you got no brains at all,
Cant you see that wall's just been plastered,
Come on down you silly #######

Unfortunately, the clarity is marred by some black and yellow mass with appendages in the foreground!

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE A FEMALE BANANA SPIDER IN YOUR YARD!

EDIT: "Like other members of Argiope they are considered harmless to humans."

obviously, one can learn a lot about spiders on that, uh, website. (ouch)

Nope, not a fake, I have a policy that I am scared of any creature that has more eyes than me.

Those babies are the best...I had one in the "garden" the "X" planted on the south side of the house a few years back...you almost have the right dimensions on the shot of yours...one big sucka!!!

Our tomatoes and peppers were absolutely blemish-free. That thing ate and sucked up anything that landed in the "garden" and boy, was it big...and FAST!!!! Scared that crap outa' me when I first saw it and *POOF!* it disappeared!

If that thing's near some plants you're harvesting in a few weeks, leave him/her there 'til the final plant's picked.

Then...get out your baseball bat and hit one for the Gipper!!! (wrong sport!)
