found him in my backyard, any ideas?
Hi. your litle friend is a banded garden spider, Argiope trifasciata species. quite harmless, beneficial, I just leave them undisturbed and admire them. https://spiderid.com/spider/araneidae/argiope/trifasciata/ One near my drive a few seasons back: Note the small male near her https://www.flickr.com/photos/32083154@N02/6166267119/in/dateposted/
Looks more like an Argiope bruennichi to me 🙂
