Moved from ID Request. Yes, A. gemma looks pretty good to me too. DO you have any other images of the scape? It looks kind of funny/odd from the angle you provided.

Scape
Sadly, I only have the one ventral view.

Thanks anyway
I'd like to review this image again later when I have more time, just to look at that scape a little more closely and review the other species found in your area. It is certainly one of the Araneus, so I'll move it the genus page for now.

Pretty one,
Maybe Araneus gemma:


Wait and see what the others think.
