Orb weaver spider
by: Moni

Your spider is one of the orb weaver spiders, but with out a photo of the other side it would be hard to figure out which one.
For most orb weavers, the ability to classify a specimen to species level often requires a microscopic inspection of the genitalia. A genus level identification is considered a good ID for most of the orb weavers.

All orb weavers spin some sort of web consisting of concentric circles. This family ( Araneidae ) of spiders is the most varied of all spider families. The round ball type abdomen indicates it is probably a female...the male abdomens are narrow.
