Joro Spider

I spotted this large spider above my flower bed in the backyard this afternoon. Earlier in the day when I was blowing leaves I walked through the
web and felt it on my face and hair... luckily the spider didn't get on me! I'm steering clear of this spider now that I know where it is living. I think this one is a female.

Very colourful & the detail is excellent - perhaps a little to good - I don’t like spiders.
