Male, Araneus

You have some unusual ones up there that we don't know well, saevus, nordmanni, washingtoni, corticarius, groenlandicolus, cavaticus. You should be able to find a bunch of different ones to post and keep us busy! Most of those can be eliminated for this image. The description of nordmanni fits your image well, but we don't know washingtoni well at all. So while we lean toward nordmanni, we'd like to wait to see what Lynette thinks.

I don't see any reason that this list couldn't also include Araneus diadematus.. ?

diadematus

I would doubt that it's diadematus, just because I've seen a ton of them and they've never looked quite like this. However, I suppose there is a slim chance.

Interesting.

I just came back from hiking Acadia. I live in RI, but I have an annual pass so I'll probably be going back in the fall when the leaves turn color. I was very happy to find this because the weather had been very cool and I hadn't been seeing the volume of arthropods I had expected.
