Summary edit

Description

As I was coming out of our garage I almost ran into a large spider web. There were at least two anchoring strands running to the roof. The sun was shining directly on the spider and it seemed too good to pass up. I took this one from the side to try to accentuate the web.

Neoscona crucifera is an orb-weaver spider in the family Araneidae. It is found in the United States from Maine to Florida in the east, to Minnesota in the Midwest, to Arizona in the southwest, and in Mexico. Its common names include Hentz’s orbweaver, and barn spider.

Generally nocturnal, females may become diurnal in the fall. Females are about 9.5–19 millimeters (0.37–0.75 in) long, while males are somewhat smaller. The upper surface of the abdomen is brown and hairy. The legs display alternating light and dark brown bands. The undersurface of the abdomen is black, with two white spots.

The orb part of the web may be nearly 2 feet (0.61 m) in diameter
