1 0 ReplyLooks like Araneus diadematus to me. They have a white cross on their abdomen like the one on your photo. Cool spiders (they’re all cool :)

They also have quite a broad range of colours.

1 0 ReplyAraneus andrewsi is only found on the west coast. Should be the more common Araneus diadematus.
