Thanks Courtney - yes, it's the same...but you got obviously the better hand/equipment :)
Nice photos! It looks like we have a very similar spotting. When I took my photo I thought I had spotted eggs not spiders. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/113...
Thanks to LivanEscudero for the ID on Urek's spotting - just had this one here yesterday and riddled about the species.
Thanks, Maria - no, I've no certain idea, yet. But they've been in the buxus...and I usually find only three adult species in it. The color and pattern speak for Nursery Web Spiders...but not the shape of the abdomen...maybe bayucca knows.
I also have one of these spottings made last weekend yet to post. Do you know the species? Nice!
