Priestly Spiny Orbweaver (Gasteracantha sacerdotalis). [Cairns Botanic Gardens, QLD, Australia]

This guy was found on a recycling bin. I'm not positive the labeled species is correct but it's the best I could find.

Leucauge venusta

Things were pretty slow yesterday due to the impending hurricane, most of the birds have left the area it seems. I liked the colors on this big spider as well as the light. I am not hung up on just photographing birds, I will shoot anything I find interesting, even spiders, which I don't particularly like. Not sure on the ID, For those in my area I hope you get through the impending hurricane safely.

Edit 10/6/16;

I hope everyone affected by Mathew gets through it safely.

My wife actually spotted it on the road while we were out for a daily walk.

Araneus diadematus feasting on it's prey in black and white

Tiny but beautiful, Hypsosinga rubens is easily overlooked. It spins a horizontal orb web in low shrubs. Graham Cave State Park, Missouri, USA, May 31, 2022.

The Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta) differs from many of its other orbweaver cousins in the oval shape of its abdomen, as others tend toward spherical bodies. These spiders dangle upside down from their webs awaiting their prey. Once a fly or other insect is stuck, it dashes up the web, bites it to immobilize it, and then wraps it in its spider silk so that it may feast at its leisure.

A spotted orbweaver has taken up residence on my patio. She allows me to take a few pictures each night as she makes her nightly web.

This rather large arachnid, the female Shamrock Orbweaver, dines on a Bumblebee that was snared in it's orb web beneath the canopy of the Southern Kettle Moraine forest in southern Wisconsin. This large arachnid weaves a web that is 20" to 30" inches in diameter.

I think the weirdest thing about this was the fact that you can see the "eye" (bottom left) so I guess they shed the outer part of that too?

Might be a Araneus diadematus - Cross Orbweaver as suggested by Jerry McFarland. Thanks Jerry. I was unable to find an exact match.
