Neoscona rumpfi
inside a rolled leaf
home garden
Hi! I found the past spotting i.d.'ed as Neoscona Rumpfi. I also found this i.d. (see page 630), which describes the same behavior of a female found inside a rolled up leaf.

This looks like an Orb-weaver spider, possibly from the genus Araneus, but I am not familiar with the species of your area.
