Nice web! you can also add your spotting to the mission for Animal architecture: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082378
It might be an immature spider hence the white rather than yellow: http://bugguide.net/node/view/18816 But if it isn't the zipper spider at least it's a start with that web style.
