Araneus bicentenarius (Giant Lichen Orb-weaver)
This spider was in its web across the entrance to an outhouse at the Dill Sanctuary (owned by the Charleston Museum) and a museum educator there asked me to id it (I work in the natural history dept. of the museum), so it was id via this photograph. The Dill Sanctuary is home to many species of orb-weaver.
