Hey Karl
Nice looking spider. Nice to see some macro from you.
It’s a kind of Orb Weaver - probably a Yellow Garden Spider.
Nice find

Excellent spider and web detail. On the ID, it looks like an Argiope spider, my guess is Banded Argiope (Argiope trifasciata). Take a look through the Argiope page at bugguide.net:

Hi

A very nice shot of this colourful chap - great job of getting the legs all nicely sharp too

All the best

Great photo(!), one that not only captures the detail of the spider, but also its context.

Terrific detail- what a colorful spider! You did well to get overall clarity in both the spider and web.

Very crisp image with great details. Black and Yellow Argiope spider. They hide so well that it is hard to get such an isolated image. great work on capture.
