Nephila clavata
Well, it LOOKS like a N. clavata, but they're not supposed to be in North America. I suppose it might be a N. clavipes, which is the one we have here, but on Wiki only ONE of the example images looks like this spider, and I'm sure it's mislabeled (was originally uploaded as unknown.)
Found on college campus. Possibly his ancestor hitched a ride on an exchange student?
