    Question What kind of spider is this?

    I am a Pipeline Surveyor and came across this Spider in Houston, Tx. on May 10, 2012. It was wrapped up in some leaves like a cocoon.

    Saavedra:

    Very nice images of what is most likely the "Tropical Orb Weaver," Eriophora ravilla. They build their round, wheel-like webs only at night, taking them down again at dawn.
