Found this little guy in my parents garden when visiting them. Not sure of the scientific name or anything but thought it was quite the looker.

Argiope aurantia. I'm keeping one and her slings, they're pretty common and very impressive.

very cool A. aurantia for sure ....two varieties and you found the neetest IMO...the banded leg variety is another
