Comments & ID Thoughts
The spider in this image is only 1 inch tall, and doesn't appear to be a yellow garden spider. I send it to you to see if you recognized as anything else?
I witnessed the arachnid between leaves on a mature lavender plant.

Union Grove , 
This is a Black and Yellow Argiope, it looks so different because it’s still immature.
Thank you for the ID. A group on FB was close, but I think this solves it completely 🙂
Hey ItsyBitsy, if you want, I have a better “high resolution” version that I captured with my camera when I got this one (with my cell phone). If you say so, I’ll forward that one and you can post it to your examples 🙂
Unfortunately the site doesn’t have the capability to link images at this time but you can upload another image separetly if you want it on the site.
