Can anyone tell me what kind this is?
Orb Weaver
That’s what I was thinking when I was looking it up. Looks most like a cat-faced orb weaver don’t you think?
She might be Araneus trifolium, a shamrock orbweaver. We received a lot of pics of that species from your state. The legs are white and black or white and gray banded on A trifolium. They can be white, gray, tan, or peach colored. Both species can have angulate shoulders. I’ll look up her ventral surface to see if that helps differentiate.
