Daddy and Momma Longlegs
Male and female golden silk spiders, a.k.a. banana spiders. The male is the smaller one, typical for most spider species.
They're called golden silk spiders because the spider silk looks golden in color when the light shines on it, as it does here. The male usually keeps on the opposite side of the web from the female because she would probably eat him if he didn't.
