These are not Argiope aurantia hatchlings, and I have edited the description to reflect this. Spiderlings with black and yellow coloration are commonly misidentified as A. aurantia, but they do not gain their black and yellow coloring until adulthood. Compare to photos of newly hatched individuals at https://bugguide.net/node/view/1486088/bgimage and https://bugguide.net/node/view/1625739/bgimage and an image of subadult A. aurantia: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1054710/bgpage
