Unidentified Orb Weaver Spider - Neoscona oaxacensis

Unidentified Orb Weaver Spider - Neoscona oaxacensis
Tollesin, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
August 28, 2007
Found at Tres Rios Wetlands (approx. 1100' elevation) spinning webs in openings in Quail Bush and, also, openings in Cattails. Quite a large number of spiders were encountered leading me to believe these are quite common. This is the topside view.

Nice picture.
I dont know what spider this is, but rather than posting two seperate pics try grouping images of the same spider into one post. Just add image to the first one.
