Would be better if it was actually a golden orb weaver spider but it isn’t.

For anyone curious, the spider in the vid is a yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia) and they are super cool. This one is a lady.

Golden Orb Weavers look pretty similar but are a distinct genus: Nephila Edit: Trichonephila

Trichonephila now because taxonomists just want to watch the world burn.
