I saw a number of pictures of these from my friends and was frankly a little jealous that I still hadn't seen one. I suppose it was my lucky day!

Cribellate orb weaver, probably Uloborus plumipes. "they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body."
The plans make this spider seems smaller than it is, but those plants are quite large. This is an orbweaver, but not one I've seen too often. The only reference to the scientific name I've been able to find is Argiope Avara Kauaiensis

Hentz's Orbweaver, Neoscona crucifera, seldom sits in its web by day, but we saw several doing just that (some 12-15 feet up in trees) at the Olathe Prairie Center in Kansas.
Araneus marmoreus- Colorful non poisonous spider. Who would have thought I would find such a cool spider in Iowa?
This spider creates it's web everyday!
One source I read said the spider eats it at night and starts over the next day. That may or may not be true but seems like an awful lot of work.
I got REALLY close to this guy to take this shot (although I am guessing this was a female) and got a little bit of the heebie jeebies after words. :)
This is the first time I've ever thought a spider was pretty.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! View on black!
These spiders line up all their discarded bugs from meals on a line going vertically through the center of their round web.
I found this little chap on my front porch this evening, and spent a good long while trying to get a decent shot. This photo was not altered in any way beyond a slight cropping. The photo was taken using the light from the 13 watt porch light about 5 feet away, and the camera flash with my fingers in front of it to block the direct light. This photo looks best in the larges sizes.
