Moved
Moved from Araneus cingulatus. This is more likely A. nashoba due to red leg bands.

How's 368310
for "wide red bands". I can't tell if it has 4 pair of red spots or not.
and 424452 seems to only have four pair.

Yes I agree
368310 also seems likely Nashoba, though it is a tough call on the spots. The female nashoba, I'm not as sure on. However on 424452 I believe I see just a gimpse of a fifth spot at the very rear of the spider.
