I wonder what that really is. It doesn't look like any Banana Spiders I've seen and it's hard to imagine any South American species (the usual suspects) have set up shop in Chicago. Cool photo. Any more info?
 
We call them garden spiders round here.
 
Fantastic shot!!! Really nice!

It's actually a Yellow Garden Spider but many do call them banana spiders but they refer to Golden Orb Weavers as banana spiders too.

We grow up calling them Wolfspiders. But someone told me they are Garden Spiders, but it is still a Wolfspider to me! :)

Great photo, love the composition!
 
Looks like a nasty, biting spider...

Must be a Midwest thing, Detroiter's called them banana spiders too.

Wolf spiders actually live in burrows and hunt along the ground (probably why they're call "Wolf"). The spider in the photo is of course a web spider that waits for prey to become entrapped in it's web.
