I believe that this is a Basilica Orbweaver (Mecynogea lemniscata), but I am no means an entomologist! Regardless, I find many of these critters around my garden and I appreciate them not only for their beautiful colors and ornate webs, but also for their crucial role in the ecosystem. Read: they make for great natural pest control!
Spotted Orbweavers range throughout much of the southeastern United States — all the way up to New England and back over to Minnesota. They’ll occasionally strike up residence around human structures such as homes, but for the most part are typically seen well away from residential areas.
I found this one under the eve of my house, and had to use the flash to get this shot.

Some sort of an orb-weaver (possibly spotted) near the front door. They're all over the place this time of year.
One of my favorite spiders, the Lattice Orbweaver, Araneus thaddeus, on neighbor's garage. A trio of tiny barklice seemed to know they were beneath the spider's prey size threshold, and huddled under it. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 28, 2021.

I had thought that the Orb Weavers were finished for the season. This afternoon when the sun came out I noticed a large web and a big spider on my deck. Since it is covered over, likely it will hang around for a bit. I played around with some different settings on ON1 to process these images.

As fall approaches the spider action increases. I love the Marbled Orbweavers. It's fun to watch as they turn more orange as time passes. Frederick County, Maryland
A new spider for me. It was very hot and humid and the bugs were out in force last night including moths and spiders. The latter were catching more stuff than usual.

A short story behind this photo: We were out on a photo shoot for waterfowl and other wildlife in Antelope Island State Park when I spotted this lady. All I had was my heavy "wildlife camera" with 100-400 lens plus 1.4x converter = 560mm, not exactly macro gear. A blustery wind was blowing the web around but I crouched down and shot several dozen hand held photos until my knees finally gave out. I was pleased to later find one frame with both the spider and her web in focus although it took HDR processing to bring out the web.
Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta) - Space Coast, Florida
Two crops of the same capture with one showing more of the web, and the other with a better look at its owner.
I don't see labyrinth orbweavers (Metepeira sp.) that often here in Colorado, let alone out in the hub of their webs, but here we are, right in my Colorado Springs neighborhood. September 10, 2017. Happy Arachtober 6!
