Neoscona sp.
One Of The Spotted Orbweavers
Florida native
This spider could be either Neoscona domiciliorum - Spotted Orbweaver or Neoscona crucifera - Hentz Orbweaver also called the Barn Spider. A synonym of N. crucifera is N. hentzii. These photos were taken five weeks later at about the same location in Tiger Bay State Forest (Rima Ridge Tract) as were two of the Neoscona domiciliorum photos that I have posted.
Neoscona sp. is a member of the Araneidae - Orb-weavers family.
