   Summary Author:  John Blodgett

   Shown above is what I believe is the  web of the spiny backed,
    orb weaver spider. I noticed it beneath a white pine tree and used
   my iPhone 7 to take this picture on the morning of August 22, 2022. The
   overall web is over 12 inches (5 cm) across, and the outer diameter of
   the tighter weave is about 8 inches (3 cm). This spider ranges far and
   wide across the U.S. and tends to construct its web in  shrubby
   garden areas as well as the edge of woodland.
