You are right, these spiders are “banana spiders or golden orb weavers”. That is true. But that is a colloquial name that encompases a whole bunch of different species.

And the one posted here is one that is exclusive to Africa(and Yemen, see the Map someone else posted).

So while you have very similar spiders, I’m pretty sure you dont “have those exact spiders”. At least from a taxonomic standpoint. Behaviourally those spiders very much act the same way.
