I have a couple more images I will upload. I thought it was cool looking too. We were on vacation in the Smoky Mountains and rented a cabin to stay in. This spider was dangling from a single strand of webbing right outside the front door of the cabin. At first I thought it was dead. I captured it and discovered it was still alive, but barely. I took a few photos and left it be. Not sure if the owner of the cabin had sprayed for bugs (which is my suspicion because we saw scant few insects or spiders despite the fact we were in an area that should have favored all kinds of bug life) or perhaps this individual had just lived out its normal lifespan. Either way it is a spectacular spider. One I'd not seen before in NW Missouri where I live.
