I prefer the first shot. Detail on th spinneret is better on this photo. Always amazed at the balancing act spiders perform when spinning silk.

The dorsal markings are more definitive for species ID.
Yes, couldn't get to the other side of the web, so I settled for the ventral side...

Great shots. Does the Model T club still climb She'll hill every year. I used to live in Bixby Knolls and would go watch them every year. I can't get over how much Signal hill has changed. We used to go up there and watch the submarine races. Ahhhhh, the good ole days.

Hi dude,
No more model T hill-climbs, but the submarine races are ON, every Friday and Saturday night 8-)

Ventral markings are consistent with Neoscona Crucifera. Nice Shots.
