Hey! Could i get an id for this spider that used to hang out on my window? A friend of mine thought it might be a zebra spider, but those ones don't have webs, and this one did.

(Also i named the spider rhea, based on a poem i wrote once)

Spider ID - Ea. CAN:

Henlo, yessssssssssss, I cannot tell with certainty, due to the lighting and photo quality, but I am sure its an orbweaver, family Aranaeidae.

Have a look at this and see what you think, Cross Orbweaver (Aranaeus diadematus):

Banded garden spider!

I had never noticed this before but the white bands are like a silvery pearl color. I bet they're guanine crystals, spiders love guanine crystals.
