Araneus gemmoides
A pretty neat spider who decided to build her web against one of our windows. We named her Morticia, and she hung out with us until she disappeared during the winter. She is a cat-faced spider, part of the orb-weaver family.
She lived against our window, as most of these spiders like to live on the sides of buildings, near lights, and in closed areas.
