I don't, unfortunately. I just found out about Project Noah about 48 hours ago (and I'm addicted already). Now that I know what it's about, I'll be sure to take future photographs that are better for identification whenever possible. In the past I just went for pretty.

Hi Lafcadio, do you have any images of the dorsal (the back) side of the spider? Several of these large Orbweavers look somewhat similar and have some slight differences in color and shape.
