Nice work by this young spider; probably Neoscona oxacensis, the common orb weaver. Notice how fine and close together the strands of silk are: this web was about 18" in diameter.On the other hand, this other spider's lair isn't so pretty at least by our standards: No geometry, no gossamer sheet wafting in the slightest breeze. Just a down and dirty trap all stuck together with dead rose leaves and withered petals, prey
carcasses, old wadded up silk, all providing a hideout for its occupant . . . whose name I do not know.

That's a great picture!! Wow.
What a fantastic picture! (Even though spiders are scary.) Great blog!
Awesome picture! I've had tons of these in my garden, and I had no clue what they were... :) Thanks!
Great pictures, impressive writings. My 9 year old son is interested in spider too. I wonder if he'll still be when he's 25 or if it's just spiderman fad .... Keep the pictures coming will you?
