Moved
Moved from ID Request. Yes I agree this is a mature female and definitely Larinioides sclopetarius. Please post the male image as well. I moved your 3 juvenile images to this page as well. These may be very helpful in determining what this species can look like at different stages.

There is a small chance that you have more than one species hanging out together, but I don't think that's very likely.

Ok I will
post the male as well. I thought it would be a little weird for different species to be hanging in such close proximity, to the point of almost sharing webs

I have one mature and one possibly immature male as well, and also one more female image
