This week’s picture comes from Ex-PH2 and she says that it’s a Cross Orbweaver;<\/p>\n
This is a Cross Orbweaver, a common European species that transferred to the Americas a long time ago. The name comes from the white spots that form a cross on her back, not because she’s cranky. The actual size of the adult spider for this species is about one inch. They eat bugs, and are mostly harmless to people. She had quite a large web going. The ‘guy-wires’ showed up nicely in this shot. Unfortunately, she was camped out on my mailbox, which has a door, and I had to evict her. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
