Oh goodness!! That's incredible, Alan!! Will you send it to me, please? I homeschool my oldest, my daughter, and I have two younger boys...identifying and caring for that spider would make a nice science project.

I believe that is a type of Orb spider of the Araneus genus.
It is this group of spiders which produce the classic spider webs in the trees which are so beautiful when the dew is on them in the morning.

I've done a whole bunch of online searching right now and I can't find that spider anywhere!! This is going to be a challenger. LOL!!

Yes, Alan...please do send it to me. (Yay!!!) Just put it in an appropriate sized pill bottle with pieces of shreaded cotton, like from a cotton ball. Then, put the pill bottle in a bed of newspaper in a small box. Spiders are very fragile but as long as it can't smack the plastic wall of the bottle hard, I think it will make the trip ok. A small 3 by 3 by 2 (?) box should only take a couple of days in the regular mail...it looks well fed!

My kids saw the pictures you posted and they're really excited! I know I'm going to have to fight them in "owning" it!

Clay is the closest

It's an araneus all right [not diadementus or quadratus] I am not sure until I find the book with that pic in it.
Also keep in mind it's a goegraphical varient, [same specie here in Mi. but with more orange on the legs and a lighter abdomen.
There is a pic in a gold-key book on arachnids....now if I can find it

araneus angulatus...took some time here..
As I said before these araneus can be quite different in looks.., hell look at araneus quadratus which can have an abdomen that can be purple, brown, tan, red, orange an almost black and a white variety with black rimed circles or spots [4 of em] all colors and such have black and white or brown and white banded legs and the typical 4 spots that quadratus has
