Found a spider by my front door can someone identify it?
That’s Darcy she’s a spider
Yup, can definitely identify that there is a spider in that image.
What a cutie! Some kind of female orb weaver (Araneidae family). What’s your geographical location (for the sake of narrowing the search) and can you get additional pics from other angles? How big is this spider? Also it looks like that might be a male waiting on the perimeter of her web to the right, but idk
Tucson Az. Spider is about the size of a blueberry. Can’t get photos today but will try tomorrow. Yes, that’s her mate I believe.

That really helped. I have to admit I really went in with tunnel vision 2 days ago and didn’t notice the elephant in the room (even without the location).
That white structure on the left is most certainly a
Cyclosa sp.egg sac,the Trashline Orbweavers. However, the central spider does not seem to be the proud mom, but an unrelated spider. More likely Araneus or Larinioides …, but it’s more of a hunch. And then there is the small spider on the right. I’m quite unsure.Amazing picture.I’ll get back to you. But further pictures will most certainly be appreciated.
Awesome, thank you!
Probably Larinioides sp.My guess would be Araneus Diadematus.
I knew it wasn’t A. diadematus but wasn’t sure about other Araneus spp. This is actually Metepeira sp., the giant egg sac should have given it away. But I also thought it might be unrelated to the spider at first.
This might be one of my favourite posts, I learned stuff!
