[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Araneidae is a large family. They can be small to large in side. All species in this family, if they make webs, they make vertical or horizontal orb webs. Some species construct some sort of stabilizer in the center of the web. Some members in this family do not make web at all. All of them have eight eyes.
Their body and legs are usually hairy. It is believed that those hair are their major sensors, as the eyes to human, to sense the world.
Thanks to Peter Roos(batu)this is Aculepeira ceropegia (family: Aranaeidae) or Oak Spider
