This spider can be seen from July to October in any structure where it can build a web.
They mostly eat small insects and flies.
They get their name from the orb shape of their web.

The hunting technique varies depending on the spider and its prey. Sometimes the spider waits in the center of the web, sometimes it sits at the edge of its burrow, with one or two legs attached to the silken thread. Once prey gets caught in the web and causes sufficient vibrations, the spider rushes towards it. Sometimes the spider goes straight for it, or shakes the web back and forth several times, often further entangling the prey, allowing it to be precisely located and identified. If prey doesn't move, the spider may lose interest; dead prey is generally ignored by spiders.
Small prey is immediately seized and often devoured straight away.
Slightly larger prey is grabbed and quickly spun; by rolling the prey in the web, a package is created that hangs from both ends of the web.
Even larger or more dangerous-looking prey is approached cautiously; the spider will first attempt to cover the prey with sticky threads from a distance using its hind legs. If the prey appears too dangerous, the spider will "free" it by biting through the threads.
The prey is eaten either on the spot, in the center of the web, or in the burrow, leaving a hole in the web. Orb-weavers "chew" their food, unlike most other spiders that suck their prey dry.
Some orb-weaver spiders that can be found in the Netherlands and Belgium: cross spider , wasp spider (or tiger spider), and the four-spot orb-weaver spider .
Verrucosa arenata. With some kind of prey. Like many other orb weavers, these tiny spiders build very large round webs, commonly in trees. Seen in the park this morning.
The year's first Spider photo. Sorry about the dust spots--what I call the "Macro Menace." Clean as much as I like, the dust always comes right back. Off to finish up house then lawn work.
Thanks for Viewing.

This is the middle orb, as you can see the stem going out the top to the top orb and out the bottom to the bottom orb.
