Araneus gemmoides
(Cat-faced Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

My brother-in-law said that he thought it was a garden/golden orb weaver spider - I couldn’t tell if he said garden or golden. He said there was one that lived near his house in Moscow, Idaho though I photographed this one just a few miles over in Pullman, Washington.
