I hoping to spot one of these next year - I know we have them as I've found a couple of egg sacs!

I am use to the orb weaver kind and this one was creepy! Saw a number of them in the early morning especially with the dew all around I see their low ground webs. They pretty much stay hidden. thank you so much again!
