Araneus thaddeus? - Araneus thaddeus
Wichita, Kansas, USA
Image taken last summer. Is this Araneus thaddeus? If so, this specimen was much rounder than other images I've looked at. The grid it's sitting on is marked in 5mm segments. I'm not sure, does one count the length of the legs in calculating insect size? Not counting its legs it's about 8mm. Thanks for your help.
