Neoscona
(Spotted Orb-weavers)

Comments & ID Thoughts

I’m guessing this is an orb weaver judging by the web it made in my backyard, but I’m not entirely sure. This is the only picture I managed to take of it. Web was between my shed and the grill about 1 or 2 feet away. Seemed to have a very calmed temperament, but I’m not entirely sure. Let me know what you think, thank you!
