Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this amazing and larger than average spider making an orb web right outside my basement sliding door. Looking at pictures I think it's a Hentz Orb Weaver. Am I right?

TangledWeb

Hi, I think so. She has the ventral markings and hairiness of Neoscona crucifera. That’s a cool action shot. I think she is pulling over the webbing of the ray to form an angle with the perpendicular strand. I just read about how orbweavers make their webs, it’s interesting.
