Orb-weaver

Araneus sp.

Description:

fairly large orbweaver, with legs tucked under ~1.5cm long Family Arananeidae

Habitat:

web built on side of a house hanging from the eaves

Notes:

Individual was very wary, running away from the center of the web where she was located initially and hiding under the eaves at the edge of the web, there are baldfaced hornets hunting on our land and I wonder if this is making the spider more wary this year, no hornets last year, less small invertebrate wariness it seemed...
