Comments & ID Thoughts

Hello to all. This beautiful spider has been hanging around our home for several months. It is primarily active at night and runs back and forth from the ground to the eave of our roof spinning its web. We have attempted identification ourselves without success. Please assist us and thank you in advance, El Dos

My best guess is Eriophora ravilla. A beautiful spider indeed 🙂

Thank you very much Vonpaulus. My wife calls her “Fanny”, and we enjoy watching her working diligently to spin her web every evening. Again, thank you very much, El Dos

I forgot to specify the gender, but I guess you already knew it was a female. I don’t know why, but “Fanny” makes me think of an industrious lady, which certainly applies 😀
