here I am again, with the neighbor kids bearing spiderly gifts!
They brought her over, and I took a pic of her on the side of my house...I'm assuming some sort of orb weaver again, can anyone ID her?

A. diadematus, although the cross on the dorsal side of the abdomen is rather small. I'm still going with A. diadematus on this one though.

thanks guys!
my neighbor wanted to keep her in a coffee can, with some grass and a couple sticks...
I said...she needs lots of room to build a web, so he let me put her out at my house!

That's probably for the best. Araneus seem to be very shy and don't do real great in captivity, at least IME. They're not like the bold Argiope and Nephila who will build thier webs anywhere you choose to put them.
