mystery spider?

•



Sean Armbruster sent me this great spider photo, wondering if I knew what it is. And that, I do not.

Anyone else know? Rikki are you out there?

    Hi Lyn,

    That's definitely an orb weaver (family Araneidae), and I think it's Eriophora ravilla. We're at the northern edge of their range, so you don't see them as often as other orb weavers.

    Thanks Rikki.

    I knew you would know, or at least get us in the ballpark.
