Completely harmless mature female Black & Yellow Orbweaver spider (Argiope aurantia).
Keeps down the populations of flies, mosquitoes, moths, grasshoppers, etc.

Wow those are some great captures. Beautifully done. We were on our way to Cape Cod recently and I found one of those at one of the stops along I495. I put some pictures up as I also would love to know what these guys are. Mine are not as good as yours so please go easy on me.

Saw your pictures. Very interesting. Looks like she has created an egg sack or food storage.
