Hello Spiderreader, 15th of October my brother saw this spider on Vlieland (island in the north of Holland). I find it difficult to say what kind of spider this is.. - It looks like an Araneus alsine, but can it have a cross on its back? - Is it a strange diadematus (shape and color isn't normal for it I think) - It could even be a strange quadratus (with cross on it's back?) Is there a difference between these species when you look to it's Carapace with transverse groove posteriorly? Regards, Robert Heemskerk  |

Araneus alsine is much more orange, and much more spotted. I am for Araneus diadematus. |

Hello! It seems like an Araneus diadematus. Araneus alsine is much more orange, and much more spotted. I am for Araneus diadematus. It is a female Araneus diadematus for sure. A. alsine never has those "cross" markings, giving A. diadematus its german name Gartenkreuzspinne (of course, A. marmoreus can have such a cross, but it is otherwise marked differently). The red color often appears here in Germany, I have seen individuals from light yellow to nearly black. Some examples on my website (sorry, text only in German): http://insektenfo...ematus.htm. The more rounded opisthosoma (abdomen) is mostly to having had a good meal ;-) or carrying many eggs. Here an A. alsine (rather dull spotted female): _001.jpg)
