There must be more than twenty of them. let's play a game, big upvotes for the first two people that guess the species.

What's the extra flavor hidden within this Rosemary? delicious... Argiope argentata, aka Silver Garden Spider or one of the cousin species. Knowing where you live helped, google did the rest ;)

Argiope Argentata it is precisely my friend....they have been counted, we have 48 of them.. some tiny ones too...

It looks like a spider maybe a weaver but the body is throwing me off...

Odrau got it... ;) You were close

It is a spider I guess.

They look like golden orb spiders, or sometimes referred to as Golden Orb Weavers.
At least that’s what they’re known as in Australia.

we have orb weavers here too... they are huge, way bigger than these.. but these are a cousin not golden weavers..

Aha! I know my spiders! Even the relatives of the Aussie ones. Hehe.
The interesting thing about the various breeds of golden orb weavers is that they build their web in their spot and never leave (unless the web is destroyed). I had an interesting chat about it with a specialist at the museum because they have live ones on display in the open and the stay put.

Wanna see something that will blow your mind?
