Comments & ID Thoughts

I'm pretty sure this is an Araneus Diadematus(European garden spider). Found it on a clothing rack outside.

I am not sure but i don’t think it is. A. diadematus has a dark sternum…..the chest area …strip between the legs….my guess would be that this is Araneus bicentenarius…the giant lichen orb weaver

Thanks for the correct identification. Makes sense the first one I posted was also a giant lichen and they were found like 20 feet from each other
