I took this picture of what might commonly be called a Banana Spider in some parts of the U.S. It is actually a part of the Orb Weaver spider family that is very common along the eastern seaboard of the United States of America. This particular spider is also commonly known as an Golden Orb Weaver. It is probably one of the Largest Orb Weavers. The females are frequently two to three inches from foot pad to foot pad. The males are typically much smaller and seldom seem to exceed one inch in diameter in my experience.
