Moved
Moved from Spotted Orbweavers. I changed my mind. I'm going for juvenile N. arabesca based on bolder pattern and darker hairs.

Moved to Neoscona
Moved from Spiders. It's a juvenile male. I think I would lean toward N. crucifera.

Orb Weaver, yes,
but looks rather to be in the genus Neoscona. Not sure which one but would lean towards N. arabesca. Let's see what others think.
