Thanks Hando for your nice comments. They are sometimes called the "writing" spider as they will weave a dense zigzag of silk known as "stabilimentum" located directly above and below their body as you can see in my photo.

Thanks for looking twitcher32. I appreciate it. Too bad! Before the first frost, this female "scribbler" spider will die. Although she already built her brown silk- covered egg nest full of spider eggs that will hatch next spring.

Thanks for clearing things up for me. From some previous UHH posts I was under the impression that it was a Golden Orb. Mine had red legs but the rest of her looks about the same. She recently left her web after a couple weeks. Didn't know they only lasted 'til the first frost.

Writing spider?
