Arabesque Orb Weaver

Neoscona arabesca

Habitat:

Canal/deciduous habitat.

Notes:

I think this is in the genus Araneus, but not sure what species. Originally though about it being a marbled orb weaver, but that isn't fitting the examples I have found.

Excellent! Thanks for the ID mauna Kunzah! I was a bit off with Araneus, wasn't I? Learned something new, so thank you very much:)

Neoscona is my favorite genus of spiders. Araneus and Neoscona look a lot alike. :)
