This is an argiope spider (common: yellow and black garden spider. Creative, eh?) trying to catch a Gulf Fritillary butterfly that wandered into an open door on my screen porch. I did end up rescuing the butterfly with a pool net, but tore up the spider's web a bit - thus the very cranky spider at the end. No, that's not the wind, that's the spider bouncing around, probably in a threat display of some sort.
