Delightful Lady
This gorgeous spider is known by the common names of "Black and yellow garden spider;" "Corn spider;" and my personal favorite, "Writing spider," because the central portion of the web (the stabilimenta) bears a resemblance to writing.
Stabilimenta:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilimenta
These are LARGE spiders that when fully grown dwarf adult Dragonflies:

I am privileged to have a few of these in my yard each year. See more in my "Writing Spider" set:
