Spotted orbweaver (Neoscona crucifera) on the porch. h/t Seek app from iNaturalist for the ID.

A big ol’ spider close up. In crouch position. Some strands of its web radiating out from its central position at left of frame. Mouthpieces (chelicerae) are readily visible. Two of its many eyes reflect the light from the camera and are hirsute, with individual hairs sticking out. Altogether the arachnid looks fierce and spooky. Alternating bands of dark and light coloration on its hind and forelegs.

Zoomed out alternative shot similar to previous photo. A big ol’ spider, less close up but still in zoom. Spider is in crouch position. Many strands of its web radiate out from its central position in frame. Mouthpieces (chelicerae) are visible. Two of its many eyes reflect the light from the camera and are hirsute though hairs are harder to appreciate in this photo than previous. Altogether the arachnid looks fierce and spooky. Alternating bands of dark and light coloration on its hind and forelegs.
