Casually
They are big, scary looking, and docile. When they do the bite it is similar to a bee sting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_aurantia

They even try to tell you they’re there from a distance so you’re not afraid

They are of the family Araneidae, which are referred to as 'orb weavers' because of their circular webs. Both names are correct.
