Thanks Kevin
Since you've confirmed the images as the same specimen I've linked them for you. Both images are now on the N. crucifera guide page. Like I said before it's a great web shot.

Moved from Orb Weavers.

Nice web shot
Any chance you can get a good dorsal & ventral of the spider? Then we could place the web shot with the correct species.

I'm not sure why you're calling it a Marbled Orbweaver, it doesn't look like that species - scientific name is Araneus marmoreus. I would guess it's either Neoscona or Eriophora, but I'd need to see the spider shot to be sure.

Edit - Now I see you probably do have an image of the spider. Is this the same spider?

Marbled Orbweaver ?
Lynette - Yes, this is the same spider. I have just uploaded a ventral view. I'm just a photographer, and really have no knowledge of "bugs". But, I kinda agree with Neoscona crucifera.
Thanks for your help and time!
