I just moved into a new house this month, and I've seen a couple of these spiders around, and caught this one in my garage. It's not very aggressive, but I was curious if anyone could provide me with some information about it. If it helps id it, I live in southeast MT. The white part is it's back, or top, and the black and yellowish stripes are it's underside.

It's the Banded Garden Spider, Argiope trifasciata.
I've got a few pictures of them there -
