I turned the corner on a walk and saw this striking girl staring right at me! I was very impressed how photogenic she was...
Hope you like her, too.

Colorful and scary. The colors in the perch and background match the colors in the spider. Well done.

Lucy, I think this is a relative of the Yellow and Black Garden Spider (Argiope) although most of the ones I see show much stronger yellow. They are big and striking. I also enjoy the sense that there are faces looking out from the pattern on her back. THe pose and the details look great.

Yes, I pegged this as an Argiope, too. This one was in San Antonio. The ones in Richmond seem to all have zig zag webs...whereas, this one was sort of a free flow. Although, she may have just started to build.
