Cross orb weaver
6521. Hello, this spider was on the front door ( I didn’t let him in!) Wondering what kind of spider? Found in end of July in the Vancouver area. Thank you! Vancouver, Bc. Canada
Number 6521. This is a cross orb weaver, Araneus diadematus, a very common and widespread species (in Europe, it is known as the European garden spider). It is harmless to humans.
Thank you for the quick identification! This very helpful! Glad to know it isn’t harmful.. never seen anything like this.
