Backyard and Beyond

I don’t think they’re scary, but my goodness, this one sure was big.
Common House?
One of the long-jawed orbweavers?
Couldn’t see this with the naked eye, but in the camera, wow!
Basilica Orbweaver.
Characteristically makes vertical hangings of its egg cases.
There were a bunch of these Basilicas in these bushes. What a revelation!
Sometimes the big webs have somebody in the center of them. Spotted orbweaver of some kind.
Sometimes they don’t. But the spider is going to be somewhere nearby.
Long-bodied Cellar?
