"HER BLACKWIDOW'S CURSE . . ."

Probably not a black widow, but yesterday while I was in the office Mrs. Ref noticed a HUGE spider on its web outside the window. The office is on the second floor, so I couldn't go out and spray it with a Costco-size thing of Raid. And for those of you paying attention, the windows in the house are pretty much sealed shut. One was sealed open in the office, but luckily I hammered that shut several days ago.

Description: REALLY REALLY BIG. It is bright yellow, has black or dark-brown tipped legs, no other obvious markings, has a REALLY big bulbous back end (sorry, no stepping on this one) and devours anything that flies into its web in a matter of seconds.

Any arachna-philes out there who might be able to tell me what type of spider this thing is?
