I've been watching this web evolution for a couple of days without seeing the builder. And today, I finally was able to get a good look of it's owner. It is a black and yellow garden spider (scientific name Argiope aurantia) aka Silver Face.

It is said that these spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans. Otherwise, equivalent to a bee sting.
