I found a match
here. It's the 10 October, 2004. It's listed under the Garden Orb Weavers which I think would make this something in the Araneus.

Now Larinioides
Since Nuctenea is now Larinioides, would you please move this to the appropriate guide page.

Nuctenea
This is definately Nuctenea, possibly N. cornuta, but that species and N. patagiata are virtually imossible to identify conclusively without examining the epigynum. This should be moved to the genus Nuctenea.
