Description
I don't think this is a Marbled Orb Weaver because of the lack of markings on the flat abdomen (not shiny and rounded) and the hairy appearance, but I'm ready to be corrected by anyone more expert in these things. It is in the genus Araneus, and had a beautiful orb web. This is where it chose to rest - it's retreat.
The picture was taken in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, on October 16, 2011.
