Comments & ID Thoughts
I noticed you had a picture unidentified already of the same looking spider on the first page. It was someone else who posted the picture on a facebook page called "Thunder Bay Gardening & Ag Community" The picture taken in the Atikokan area of Ontario.
Looks like a giant orchard orb weaver.
I know you meant giant lichen orbweaver. 🙂 Araneus bicentenarius
Indeed I did. I would love to see a quarter-sized Leucauge venusta, though.
