Neoscona crucifera

This big spider was hanging out by my back door in Central Florida for a couple of months this summer. She would build her web around 9 p.m. every night, take it down around 6 a.m. every morning and spend the day hiding underneath an outdoor light fixture nearby.

I'm not certain on the ID of this orbweaver but I believe it is Neoscona crucifera. I had never seen this species before. Any feedback would be welcome.

Happy Halloween, everyone.

Taken at Lake Lotus Park. This is a lateral view. These spiders are commonly seen in Florida in summer and fall.

This is a fairly common spider in wooded areas in Florida. Creepiest looking shot I could find for (almost) Halloween. Happy Mischief Night.
