The signature is called stabilimentum, and they may vary a lot, not being species related.

Rubens check..If I am wrong..!!

Yes, it seems to be only the signature spider that leaves a signature X on its web...

I'm sort of confused, too. Google image results show a different pattern for each, and the signature spider search shows the four zigzags.

Do not worry...some call it weaver... do not bother about what anyone call it..!!

Picture is taken nicely. I see such almost white spider..!!

Oh, I though writing/writer spider and signature spider were the same?

Thanks a lot! I know next to nothing about spiders, but you seem to be right about the classification, thank, I'll correct the title right away!

The only group I know that makes this zigzag are writer spiders. This is such a beautiful photo.
