Similar spiderlings here

Guessing we're looking at a good sized spider to have so many offspring. Does Larinioides produce that many young? Or are we looking at something like Araneus bicentenarius?

Araneus bicentenarius
I think that's a great guess. I'm not sure how to be certain though.

Moved from ID Request. Nice shots. I'm thinking we can rule out N. crucifera based on this image


Maybe not Metepeira either


It has an all black carapace like Cyclosa. I'm not sure that means anything though.

Thank you
Thanks, Lynette. I'll do a search on "spiderling" and see if that provides any more results.
