Far Eastern black-and-yellow garden spider (Argiope amoena)

Far Eastern black-and-yellow garden spider - Argiope amoena (Koch, 1878)
Kapchon Stream, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea

This is the largest spider I have ever seen in Korea. This spider was about 2 inches long including legs with body length of an inch including head. When I took pictures of this female orb weaving spider, it was building or repairing her web.
