Orb WeaversLarge,Fat Round Orange Spider – Kingston, Ontario, Canada

This spider was holed up in the lid of my hose caddy for several days after I took the photos. It had been cool for days at this point (Nov 3, 2010), close to the freezing point and rather late to be putting this stuff away for the winter. When I checked about a week later, it was gone, probably lost to birds, as the lid had blown open in a storm. I guess it’s some sort of orb spider. I’m sending a second set of photos of another kind of spider elsewhere in the lid of the same hose caddy.

Dear Lulu,
This is an Orbweaver Spider, probably in the genus Araneus. Your other photo is of an egg sac and we cannot see a spider.
