Body shape matches up, but it probably doesn't have it's Adult coloration yet. Guess formed with a combination of Google Search and an Old Guide to North American Spiders that I've had for years. LOL It is BEAUTIFUL! I love it when these gals make their nightly gigantic orb, that spans the gap between two holly bushes, under which sits some concrete stairs, that you happen to use to get to your car at 4:30 A.M so you can be at work by five. Fun times. The rest of the family stayed away from her, but I'd throw in some snacks for her! They are lightening fast for how bulky they can be.</p></blockquote><p></p>
