Orb Weaver? - Eriophora ravilla
Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, USA
November 7, 2009
Size: 1.5"-2"
About walked into this bad boy. After a pretty significant jiggy dance. I got some pretty cool photos of him. After looking around seems he is a Orb weaver. Had web complete around Midnight and by 3am he had taken the entire web down and disappeared. Figured I would throw it up here to see if anyone could get it more specifically identified. Thanks!

I don't think we need shots
2 & 3 for the guide. I'm going to move just shot #1, unless you have a good dorsal shot?
