Nephila clavipes
I found this spider and her mate in my flower garden.
Maybe this is a Golden Silk Spider (Banana Spider) and her mate. I believe the smaller one is the male.
Take it not too serious...! I also was not as close to the male as to see its beauty due to the ambushing female...
Thank you "bayucca"! I will take your word about the male being more beautiful as I am a little afraid to get very close to spiders, even if they are harmless! Thanks so much for your comment-really appreciate it!
Impressive!
And yes, the big one is the female, but the male is more beautiful ;-)...
