On the side of my house. She is very silver. Ventured off her web to get a little drink, I think. Tried to get an ok pic of her on her web, but camera phones aren't the greatest.

Super pretty black and white orb weaver. Pretty sure it’s Neoscona. But Oaxsensis? Never seen one so black and white.

Western Spotted Orbweaver (Neoscona oaxacensis)Observer
wechoDescription
I think it's neoscona oaxensis, but not positive. It's very red, with a non-distinct pattern on it's abdomen. It was high in a tree, and when I climbed on a rock to get closer, it scurried into the leaf, and I had to just take it's pic without being able to see it.
