[This is the beautiful Orchard Orbweaver Spider.  They are very beneficial, as they eat many insect pests, such as flies and grasshoppers.  They are harmless… their bite cannot penetrate human skin.  Sometimes they undergo parasitism by a wasp larva which attaches externally at the junction of the cephalothorax and the abdomen. These spiders are excellent weavers of intricate webs!]
