?orbweaver egg casing? - Argiope aurantia
West Wilson County Mt. Juliet area, Wilson County, Tennessee, USA
September 4, 2010
Size: size of a quarter
I don't know if this is an egg casing for a yellow garden spider (orbweaver) but it was located next to the web of one - so I am assuming that is what it is. Any help in confirming this would be appreciated.

This is the egg sac of Argiope aurantia, as you supposed. Sorry it took so long for you to get a response!
