Argiope aurantia, commonly known as the yellow garden spider, black and yellow garden spider, golden garden spider, writing spider, zigzag spider, zipper spider, black and yellow argiope, corn spider, Steeler spider, or McKinley spider, is a species of spider found in the contiguous United States, Hawaii, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Its distinctive features include yellow and black markings on the abdomen and a mostly white cephalothorax. The scientific Latin name translates to “gilded silver-face,” with the genus name Argiope meaning “silver-face” and the specific epithet aurantia meaning “gilded”. These spiders are large, orb-weaving arachnids that spin circular webs. These spiders are diurnal carnivores and may bite if disturbed, but their venom is harmless to non-allergic humans, roughly equivalent to a bumblebee sting in intensity.

Black and yellow argiope spider, Argiope aurantia
The argiope spiders are a large and distinctive group. Their large, conspicuous webs can often be seen along the edge of woodlands. The black and yellow argiope can reach a length of 25 mm. Its characteristic silver carapace and yellow-and-black markings make it easy to identify. Argiope spiders tend to hang head down in the middle of a medium-sized web that has thickened, zigzag bands of silk in the center
