Sweet! Glad I could help a bit. Happy spotting!

Thanks for the link and info. I uploaded the pics to BG before I saw the link you shared & I got a comment saying it was a Neoscona crucifera - spotted orb weaver but it's still on the ID request page. So maybe tomorrow it will be moved to the page that it belongs to.

I will add that the more I look at it, the more I think it's a spotted orb weaver. I'm no expert though.

I have found that if you upload to BG at level that you are 100% sure about you will get a quicker response than the ID request page will give. You are sure it's a spider so upload it to the linked page. http://bugguide.net/node/view/1954/bgimage

Cool, I'll do that! Thanks!

Your welcome. Good luck IDing it. You may want to post it on bugguide. They have been able to ID every spider I posted there.

Thanks k.andrews6. I thought maybe it was an orb weaver but wasn't sure.
