Comments & ID Thoughts
Just found this spider hiding under one of my deck hanging boxes that use the coconut fiber liners. She had a MASSIVE web that connected our deck to a wooden pole about 5-6 feet away. After her catch it looks like the web is destroyed.she has dark brown spines on her legs, 2 hill like bumps at the top of her abdomen, closer to her face is a dark brown that changes to a lighter brown on the opposite side of the horns,there are black marks and striations throughout her pattern with 2 small distinctive white spots and a jagged white band in the center. I have not found a similar picture to her yet, Im hoping someone can help me identify her.

From everything I can find, she seems to be a lichen orbweaver, her pattern along with all of her characteristics match that identification. Along with my location up against the woods. But she does not have any green on her.
P.s. if you look closely at her web sac, you can see the eyes, face, and legs of the moth she captured
