Argiope aurantia
Located in Huntly meadows park in the marsh in between lizard tail, button bush, and arrow arum plants. Measured aprox. 18-20mm.
The day was hot, muggy, and sunny. The spotting was on the outside of the boardwalk circle near the south viewing platform.
A.k.a. Yellow Garden Spider. Nice find! I don't think I've seen these at Huntley, though I've found tons of them over by the river above Belle Haven. It'll grow up to be one of these:
