Yellow garden spiders often build webs in areas adjacent to open sunny fields where they stay concealed and protected from the wind. The spiders spend most of their time in their webs waiting for prey to become ensnared.
The spider occupies the center of the web, usually hanging head-down, waiting for prey to become ensnared in the web. If disturbed by a possible predator, she may drop from the web and hide on the ground nearby. The web normally remains in one location for the entire summer,
Each spider produces from one to four egg sacs with perhaps over a thousand eggs inside each.
