I've named her Charlotte!
She's about 1 cm in body size - love those zebra striped legs!
Will try to identify her today. Anybody recognize her?

Cool! I just call them "garden spiders," or "writing spiders," but when I was a little girl I remember hearing that if you ever go out in the morning and see that one of them has written your name in her web, you will die.
I love them now, though. We saw a big gathering of them near the recycling center at Jekyll Island this year. I'll attach a pic, but I'm not sure how well the spiders will show up. There were so many in one place!
