Araneus with yellow abdomen? - Araneus trifolium - male

Araneus with yellow abdomen? - Araneus trifolium - Male
Fairfield, Somerset County, Maine, USA
August 25, 2011
Size: approx 6-8mm body
This resembles some Araneus I have seen around earlier this season. The others were much smaller and the legs were more green than brown.
Anyway, I was hoping to get an ID for this. The abdomen is bright tennis-ball green with a white pattern on it, almost cross shaped, almost dots.
