Comments & ID Thoughts
I think this is a Barn Orbweaver? I also think it is a Female and she is pregnant? She starts her web about 9:00pm and takes about an hour to complete. In the morning about 5:30am she takes it down and hides all day under this overhang on my garage. Please let me know if I have her correctly identified. Thank you

Hi, you got it right! She does look like a gravid female Hentz orbweaver, Neoscona crucifera. Your observations sound very accurate of orbweaver behavior too. Good job!
