 I found this freaky little orbweaver on February 19, 2017, with her web constructed between my kusamaki and the boxwood hedge were my front walkway meets the driveway. She was on her dense web pad in the center of a larger web.

On March 1, 2017, I saw a trashline orbweaver in about the same spot, and there's a good chance it was the same individual. This time, the web had the distinct line of trash for which this spider is known. You can barely make out the spider in the middle of the web.
