Anybody ever see a spider like this?

Working in my yard this morning and came across this spider and I guess her egg sacs. I've never seen a spider like this before, mostly white with black patterning. I thought it was pretty stunning.

I tried to find out what she was, but most black and white spiders are mostly black with some white pattern.

3. Thanks, yes does look a lot alike except for the yellow instead of white pattern.

That's why I didn't find it. Was looking for White and black, not yellow.

So those white webby things are actually part of the web? I thought they were egg sacs.

Been here and working in my yard for over 20 years, never saw her before. Have had Black Widows, Brown Recluse and common brown spiders, but this is the 1st time I saw one like this.

I thought they were egg sacs, but turns out they're part of the web.
