Yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia). They like to build nice visible webs since they are primarily active in the daytime. They eat aphids, flies, wasps, mosquitoes and many other bugs. So don’t kill them when you come across them. You may not ever like spiders but they will help you out around your house or garden if you let them stay there. | Critters Of The World & Southern Outdoor Education
