Recently I visited a friend's house, and found this little friend in the backyard.

Does anyone here know what it is?

Rdeleonp, looks to be the common "garden spider" found in FL and the same as my request for ID. A arigiope I think, but do not which.

The web has a yellow tint, so I think it is the Golden silk Orbweaver: Nephila clavipes

Look at what someone made from the golden silk: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1216433/British-art-historian-creates-worlds-largest-cloth-woven-entirely-spider-silk.html
