Garden cross orb weaver (Araneus diadematus)

It is just about time for the big orb weaver spiders to appear. This is one of the smaller ones that arrives about mid-July. It is well-named for it frequently turns up in residential gardens. I have at least 4, possibly more, in my garden at the moment. They are very common throughout FWG. I think they are remarkably beautiful.
