There is fence near my house with a huge spider web. If you look close you can see spikes on it's shoulder area. It is sitting on a leaf so it is somewhat hard to tell the spider from the leaf. If they are Brown Recluse Spiders something needs to be done about them. Please help.
Here is another shot.
Here is the egg sack and babies.
And here is the main part of the web. The web actually runs down the fence for about 60 feet or so.
Hopefully you will get an answer soon. I believe it is some sort of orb weaving spider.
This is indeed a harmless (to humans) orb weaving spider in the family Araneidae. It appears to be Cyrtophora citricola, known as the tropical orb weaver - see http://tinyurl.com/2elz4p5 for detailed information.
Thanks Sunnto,
I think that's them! The one in the picture seems hairy than my spiders but definately same shape, same look, and same web. Thanks again!
