Fairly large spider with rounded abdomen. Top of abdomen is yellow & striped, though a brite yellow. Underside has thin yellow stripes 2 of them & rest of abdomen is black. The legs are banded, the bright yellow & black. It is an orb weaver. Has very long thin legs & tiny head/thorax. It was outdoors. The spider I would guess about 1 1/2 inches roughly.

Yes, it does. Looks like the yellow & black one, with the designs on the abd. I do believe it is a garden spider :) thanks!
