Description
I know this is one of the local and common Araneidae (orb-weavers), but I've not found a sure ID. It looks to me like an aged spider - the gaunt body, the spiky spines that look like whiskers, and the overall gray appearance. It was late in the year and the spider was slower than those we see earlier in the season.
This picture was taken November 1, 2012, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA.

Wow Carol! Very menacing little creature! Great photo!

They look fierce for sure:>) We usually don't see the spines and hairs and eyes this close - I guess to another spider it would be beautiful - LOL. Big Hug!
