My grandpa called them corn spiders, my dad called them corn spiders, I call the corn spiders, my boy calls them corn spiders. Not sure what they're called.

That is what we call them. Real sticky web, that you run into a lot hunting squirrels in the fall. Hard to get it off of your face, and kinda hard to see in the shade of the woods in early morning. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Garden spider.
When I was in HS many years ago, we had a bumper crop of these guys.
I filled a Gal. milk jug with the little guys, took them to HS and distributed them equally.
Put some in the drinking fountain spigots, had to squish a few.
The girls pisser got a bunch.
Great fun.

Got one just like that one on the side of my house right now. It's got the egg sack hanging like Roger's pic.

The spider in the original post appears to be a Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia) aka Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Black and Yellow Argiope, Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Golden Orbweaver. http://www.spiders.us/species/argiope-aurantia/Locally we have what we call a banana spider. The proper name is golden orb-web spider (Nephila clavipes). It is common for these spiders to build webs that span 30 feet across bayous. They are slightly venomous, but not dangerous to humans. The two species look somewhat similar but are different spiders.
