What is this?

Hey all! I live in South West Michigan in a fairly wooded area, so I see quite a few spiders. Mostly wolf spiders, and grass spiders. The other day I found this gal in my bathroom, at 1st I thought it was a wolf spider but it was hanging from a web and had a fully spun web. To my knowledge wolf spiders aren't web spinners so I've gotta know, what is this

Maybe Neoscona crucifera

It's definitely some type of orbweaver. Probably Neoscona or Araneus species.

oh, cool! i dont believe ive seen an orb weaver yet! ive started spider spotting since moving in to my current apartment,and if they make a web inside, i leave them be and call them jerry.

this was Jerry #2, and made my bathroom cabinet it's home for about 10 days

Jerry 1 - grass spider that lived in my window frame
Jerry 3 + 4 - assummed posse of Jerry 1, as they have all moved into my kitchen window frame ( its kinda broken, so there is prime funnel web oppurtunities)
