Orb Weaver Spiders
Orb weaver spiders construct the familiar circular, flat, elaborate web in
which flying insects are trapped. Each species of orb weaver typically
constructs a web with a distinctive design. Webs usually occur outdoors. These
spiders have poor vision and locate their prey by feeling the vibration and
tension of the threads in their web. They use silk to wrap the victim.
Many species of orb weaver spiders are large (approximately 1 inch), but
others are quite small (approximately 0.1 inch). Some have oddly shaped abdomens
(pointed spurs, conical tubercles, etc.). Some are very brightly colored. One
common spider, known as the yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia), has
silver hairs on the back of the cephalothorax and a large abdomen marked in
black and bright yellow or orange. This spider is about 1 inch long and hangs
head down in the center of the web, which is found in brambles, bushes, tall
grasses, etc. in open sunny places.
Despite their formidable appearance, orb weaver spiders are not considered
dangerous. Some species can bite if handled.

What a beautiful spider, I hope I see it in the future and photographed it like you... As for me, if you could take this photo from the other side of the web, it could be great...
