Since Spiders have decided to make a presence of themselves to me lately I managed to get another pic of one that has spun a web and is hanging out at the side of my house.
I believe it is a Golden Orb Spider after looking it up and here is some interesting stuff I found and learned about them…
The male is about one-fifth the size of the female spider
The male lives at the edges of the female's web, stealing her food, often without her even noticing.
In some species, the female will often eat the male.
Some golden silk orb-weavers display an almost manic fear of cockroaches.
They are found in tropical areas from Africa, India, China, and Japan, across Southeast Asia to Northern Australia and the South Pacific Islands.
The web can run from the top of a tree 6m high and up to 2m wide and last several years.
The web's silk is so strong it can trap small birds, which the spider does not eat.
