Spider: Family Araneidae: Cyrtophora citricola? - Cyrtophora citricola
Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
December 1, 2012
This spider was in a curled leaf when first found. When disturbed, it crawled to its web suspended at the top of a bush. I suspect it is Cyrtophora citricola because of the horizontally oriented bifurcation at the posterior of the abdomen.
