We have this big, beautiful web and its architect just outside our front door here in Woodland Hills, CA (Los Angeles). We searched the web and based on images that we found, believe it to be an Araneus Gemma - an Orb Weaver. Can someone please confirm? BTW, I read somewhere that they eat their webs every day and respin them each night. But our neighbor has not behaved this way - she seems content with the web that she has already woven.
