The most recent photo was sent to us by Connie Haile. She writes-

"I saw your picture that you posted of Jim's Spiny Orb-Weaver.... I have three in my yard. This one is on my back porch. Their webs are most interesting. The main structure is diamond-shaped and then in the center of the diamond is the traditional round web. They are quite interesting. I call them smiley face spiders. This spider's spikes were black for the longest time, but have finally turned red. - Just wanted to share my photo with you."
