No particular feature for us
Just the pattern of colors and spines. Must say we're leaning more toward N crucifera now, seeing these additional shots. Would expect more white across the front on domiciliorum

Moved from ID Request.
Leaning N. domiciliorum, but not sure enough to place it there.

Added two photos
Is there a particular feature that's best for ID?

Yes, Orb Weaver
genus Neoscona. Maybe domiciliorum? Let's see what others think.
