Nephila clavipes
3 to 5 inch across spider
NEar ocean beach in full sun.
Beautiful spider with an apparent "face on its back."
Figured as much. Thought it may have been a variant since the colors were slightly different. Cant tell so much from this pic sice my cmaera will not allow too close of shots. Thank you
