More Spider

 So the spider returned last night to our backyard.  Naturally we did more research.  This spider is known as a neoscona crucifera because of the cross like pattern on its abdomen and grows quick large (ours is about 3.5inch in diameter).  It is also known as a barn spider and is the spider that is featured in Charlotte's Web.  It spins its web at night and by dawn it takes it back down again.  Thankfully its harmless, unless your a bug.
