My daughter sent me this of her resident, well-behaved (ie removes all flies) house spider. I'd like to tell her which one it is...

Looks like one of the Araneidae - Orb Weavers. Possibly Araneus diadematus -the Garden Spider, but can't quite tell from the angle and exposure of the photo.
No.9 Spider

Hi Lori,
Gist-wise, I'd have to agree - A. diadematus was my first thought. It's quite a variable spider.
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks - I thought the pattern looked like Garden spider, but I'll check with her about the web - and a better photo

It does make an orb type web, but the body is very spherical and nut-brown. Also it stays in the house, by the window, rather than nearby shrubs.
