This is an Orchard Spider, also called an Orchard Orbweaver, or Leucauge Venusta. It took up residence between two Yaupon Holly bushes in front of the house. It's been feasting well for the last few weeks on those pesky Love Bugs which have just about petered-out for the season. I believe they are supposed to be found throughout the United States, but I don't ever remember seeing any in North Carolina or Oklahoma, just here in Florida.
