Second photo. This fellow seems to like hanging out in the gh on an old lantern. I think he's cute.
Thanks!

This is an orb weaver (family Araneidae); likely in the genus Neoscona - see http://tinyurl.com/5spd46 for an example. Spiders in this genus ( as well as some in the related genus Araneus) can be quite variable in color and pattern, and therefore sometimes difficult to differentiate in the field.

Definitely an orb.

Thank you, suunto, and juliep! I was wondering. I like him and have grown quite fond of him, so he gets to stay where he is.
