Haven't seen these before, but as of late, these have shown up:
They're roughly between the diamater of a quarter to half dollar.

My favorite spider in the south.... look deadly but harmless. Fun fact: they are the only orbweaver I know of that always build their webs at a 45 degree angle.

huh, I'll have to go back and look and see.
I think I read in the link, they make a web close to the ground.
This was a web built between my mota bike, and a small folding table (yea I know, it needs to be ridden....), in my barn, about 3 feet off the ground.

I thought those were gimbal parts from a gyroscopic machine used for bending the fabric of space, and when I first saw the photo, I thought the orbweavers had used it to get to your house.

I'm kinda disappointed now.
