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?
