Dave, I'm pretty sure yours is Araneus diadematus, often called either =
"cross spider" (from the pattern of white markings on abdomen) or, =
confusingly in my mind, "garden spider". This species is ubiquitous in =
residential or farm areas, generally around the outsides of various =
buildings.
One of my best references, and widely and affordably available in =
bookstores, is the Golden Guide for SPIDERS and their kin, Golden Press, =
copyright 1987, 1968,=20
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

Any recommendations for guides, other resources to ID spiders?
-Thanks, David P
