Mecynogea lemniscata
(Basilica Orb-weaver)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Basilica Orbweaver? The spider is in my other photos. I guessed that it was a Filmy Dome Spider. I forgot that I had a photo of her orb web, thus she's an Orbweaver. The spider isn't in this photo. I took the photo before looking for the spider in case I damaged the web in the process.
