A juvenile spider, no ID yet beyond the Araneoidea superfamily of orbweavers

Not a 100% clear but it was very breezy. Hair on legs and some water droplets are still visible.

Leucauge venusta - Orchard Orbweaver - bugguide.net notes that venusta is Latin for "beautiful". I imagine that Venus is another derivative of that.

There were quite a few of these large orbweavers along the trail, which made you think twice about walking off trail since you'd not be wanting one of these guys in your face!

I picked this particular guy since it was busy munching on a sulfur BF it caught in its web.

These are my favorite fall spider - they make massive webs but when the sun comes out they tear them down, eat the web to recycle it and then hide from the sun. If you blow on them they shake the web violently trying to scare you off. This one I found on my porch this evening.

This orb weaver has taken up residence in our garden near the front door. Every night at around 9 or 10 s/he weaves a large, intricate, spiral web and waits for her dinner. By dawn when Jen heads out to the gym, the whole thing is always packed away except for three 'anchor lines'.

Does anyone know exactly what kind of spider this might be (and if so, how you identified it)?

I believe this female is wrapping up a male, post-mating.

This Orb Weaver's web covers the entire area in front of the back yard flood lights - he is eating well but has a lot of web repair to do.

My very first macro shot (that I'm willing to post!!!) - taken with my 28-300mm zoom (at 300mm) with the Canon 500D close-up filter/lens from a distance of about 4 inches. The spider is about 1/4" big.

White cross on abdomen is diagnostic...

I love searching for spiders but find many of them a challenge to identify. I have some guides but even then I will have to beg Bugguide for help.

I have to confess I really like this picture. The spider had strung its web underneath an old treehouse, and it was all I could do to balance on the rickety steps to get the shot.

These beauties usually show up in late summer and are my favorites. They are only out at sunset to sunrise. They make a new web each day and eat the old one to recycle the web material. If you bother them they shake their web to try to scare you away. This one in on my Crepe Myrtle in the back yard.
