Three of the same spiders in my backyard! What is it

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-05] [Hit: ]
The spiders have two yellow/ white dots on the abdomen. The back is very round, and if the spider sees you it jumps up and down on its web.I would say its about an inch in size when it lays in the center of the web.Do you know what kind of spider this is?-Impossible to ID the species from your description,......
Last week a huge reddish- brown spider made a web about one foot wide and one foot tall on my clothes line. At night it sits in the middle of the web and in the morning the web is completely gone!

Just a few days ago I found another one (although this one was more red) and it also made a nest on the lower part of my clothes line. Just when I was about to shut off my porch light, another one was sitting under the switch!

Impossible to ID the species from your description, but from your description of the web and web building behavior I can safely say that your spider is an Orb Weaver in the family Araneidae. All of these spiders are harmless and seldom bite. They are great control for flying insects. They frequently eat the entire web or central portion each morning and rebuild it each evening. The white or yellow dots on the abdomen is common to several species.

Hard to say without knowing where you are, but it could be a Shamrock Spider or one of its many relatives.
