In the spider world, this is a common character.  I’ve found and photographed this type in our gardens in Wisconsin. This one was photographed in the woods of Missouri.

We typically refer to this as a Garden Spider.  If you want to get technical, it’s a Black and Yellow Argiope (argiope aurantia).

If it won’t creep you out, you can view a larger version of this image by simply clicking on the photo.
