ID This Spider for Me (WARNING! Don't Look if You're Squeamish!!)

[drdoolittle]

Cool spider. We have lots of orb weavers around our place. Some are very similair to yours, and some have more pink on them. There are even some with very funky-looking bums on them.

So cool! The way I saw the one on the cherry tree leaf was that we were walking toward a section of the property where we'd been cutting down trees and I walked between that cherry tree and a rose of sharon shrub and right smack into its web I didn't see. Wow, talk about strong and sticky! When I got it all off me, we noticed the spider sort of curled in a cherry leaf, upside down.

Gross, I knew I shouldn't have looked, I was warned. You say you've seen more than one "here". Please tell me you mean "here" as in some foreign country you are visiting. That thing is the subject of nightmare.......
