There is a spider/web outside my window (Epping, NH) that the kids and I have been watching for days. (Normally, I would have run for the Raid, but my grandson wanted to watch it.) I was able to identify it from your photo of a jeweled web. His web was what attracted us in the first place. I will try to photograph him and post the pictures. It truly is a sight to behold! I wonder how long he will "hang" around?
