Larinioides cornutus
Females reach a body length of about 6–14 mm, males up to 5–9 mm. Leg spans range from 18–35 mm. The male lives with the female during mating time, which is in autumn, and again in spring. The female produces three to five yellow egg sacs during the summer.
Found on moist meadow, near lake
Thanks a lot! The genus name was enough :) I searched ID for this spider for months....
Yes, I think it's almost certainly L. cornutus although, whilst it's unlikely to be another Larinioides species (e.g. patagiatus, sclopetarius), I didn't want to rule them out completely.
Thank you, Alan, for ID! I searched and found that this is L, cornutus, it obtains in moist meadow near water, where I found this spider :)
