Argiope aurantia
Otherwise known as the Black and Yellow Garden Spider or the Banana Spider or the Corn Spider…
No name given to this spider will make it look any less demonic to me. I was almost shaking while taking the picture because I could have sworn that that thing would jump over and attack me at any second. Good thing I found it behind the fence and not somewhere special like my garden ;)

OMG! I’m goign to have nightmares tonight just from looking at the picture.
That is so creepy looking. Im so glad that it was at your house and not mine. Im freaked out just from looking at the picture.
Ok I don’t know how you could have even taken the pic!! :)~ I HATE SPIDERS!!! LOL
Wow! She is gorgeous! I can see how you’d be a little freaked since they do get huge. But they’re awesome to have around for garden pest control.
