Help me identify this spider!
Just returned to St Petersburg, Fla from a trip to Melbourne Fla and a spider appeared in our backyard I have never seen before and I have lived in Florida for 68 years. The closest one, in the spider pictures, I have seen is called the Titusville Surfer. Titusville of course is near Melbourne and not far from Orlando. I took pictures but none of them are clear enough to post. If you can, check out the Titusville Surfer and see what you think.
Ok my spider returned, and after getting much better photos and watching him/her weave the web again I did some more research. I am pretty sure it is a tropical nocturnal orb weaver. Weaves the web every evening and takes it down in the morning.
