Eriophora ravilla
(Tropical Orb-weaver)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Hi, I found this last night just outside a tube in my back yard, it was out but it was really dark and couldn't get a nice pic even with flash, I searched inside the tube this morning and got this picture of her back. I tried to identify it with no success. Wonder if anyone here can help me, I'll try to get another pic tonight when it comes out.

I live in Monterrey, Mexico, 2 hours from Texas southwest border... climate is pretty hot, most of the year above 100 F.
