Micrathena gracilis
The only web-building members of the species are the females.
Carolinian forest
I spotted this at Point Pelee national park. I've never seen a spider like this in Canada. I didn't know they could be found here.
Looks like Darth Vader's helmet in the last photo or my kids old Star Wars Legos. LOL
Thanks Uday and Manas, and bayucca for the ID. I thought Gasteracantha at first too.
