What kind of spider is this?

[ababysean]

this was taken with my 35mm lens so not macro by far, but I think I got a pretty good shot...

She is the keeper of my garden, but I'm worried of all her babies coming out and it is making me wonder do I leave her be or move her?

oh and sorry for the post overload today but it is raining like crazy outside so I'm stuck inside today.

Those are tomatoes in the background, I think! haha I can't remember what angle this particular pic came from, so it is either tomatoes or bricks, looks like tomatoes to me

Basilica Orbweaver (Mecynogea lemniscata)

They hang upside down in a dome-like web.
The thing in the forground is the egg sac.


Thanks, Ralph

 

[ababysean]

It's the egg sac. If you google Basilica Orbweaver you almost always see them with a similar egg sac.

Thanks, Ralph
