I used to feed mine the insects that I picked off my plants. She was extremely efficient, would come out, quick wrap, inject, then fully wrap the offender. The next morning the case was gone and she was full. This went on for several years through successive generations.
My Insect ID app on my phone calls this a "yellow garden spider" It's in the "orb weaver" family (Argiope) and has been given a scientific name of Argiope aurantia. The app is called "PictureInsect" but you don't need to buy a fancy version...the free one works fine....unless you're an entomologist!
I used Google lens to come up with the yellow garden spider name.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
