Amazingly it stayed put long enough to get a 9 slice focus stack.

This is the first one I have seen, though apparently they are not uncommon in New england.

Marbled Orbweaver spider (Araneus marmoreus): http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/marbled-orbweaver

Based on the leg coloring and the four obvious dimples, I believe this is a female Shamrock Orbweaver (Araneus trifolium):

NE Connecticut.
I have a studio set-up. The camera is on a copy stand, the spider is sitting in an acrylic box and illuminated with LEDs from above and below. The spider was liberated after shooting.

It is about time that you added an Avatar photograph to your profile.
