My stepfather found this spider on our doorstep, is there any chance that this little one is from a specific species?
Just asking because it has a white "cross" on her back that definitely caught my attention!

Thanks in advance!

Diana's spider is Araneus diadematus, the common European garden spider - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_garden_spider

PAgirl60 - Please start a new thread rather than hijacking an existing one as it greatly increases your chances of getting a prompt answer, which in this case is Araneus marmoreus...
