Garden Spider - Orb Spinner

Description:

This large, beautiful black & gold spider has very long legs. I was surprised that this one liked to move and start a new web almost everyother day.

Habitat:

It built a large spider web in a sunny spot between our fig plant and deck rail. Web was facing east.

Notes:

Of interest too, all other webs this spider constructed where also facing east.
