This "beautiful" specimen was hanging outside our living room window. This is as close as I wanted to get! I had never seen this type of web either, the zigzag pattern.

They are beautiful. We call them writing spiders. Like in Charlotte's web. Have you ever watched how fast they take them down each morning? fast like lightening. As far as I know they are not a problem to humans. But , again, I am not an authority.
When I lived in Georgia, I had them a lot. They are called St. Augustine Cross. I found them quite interesting.
In this area (Nebraska) they are called a fall garden spider.
This was my favorite of spiders (is there really such a thing for someone who hates spiders?). As kids we called this a writing spider because it had the ability to write as good as we did!
I have pictures of this spider in a plum tree, they are very impressive but spooky at the same time. Thanks for posting. We live in Missouri.
Great pic! I love looking at the different types of webs that spiders make, Spider silk is the strongest thread in the world. This includes man made materials. Just a little trivia.
Beautiful picture. Spiders are really neat creatures (and for the most part harmless - although I wouldn't want one for a pet). Several years ago we had a big wolf spider who made a web around our porch light every night for over a year. He grew very big since we left the light on for him and he had a lot of yummy bugs to eat.
