Two surprises:

I happened to snap a photo of what I thought was an Argiope aurantia spider I observed and realized I identified it incorrectly! I believe this is a banded garden spider.

I shot this photo thinking it had an egg sac beneath it, but upon closer review I found it was finishing up a meal instead!

I guess my eyes are bad! Enjoy.
