Identifying common orbweavers from the underside
This time of the year we see a lot of orbweaver spiders (often running into their webs face-first on the trail!). We have a number of species in the Lower Mainland, here is a great guide to help identify them if you are unable to see the dorsal (top) of the abdomen to look for identifying marks.

You're welcome, I'm glad you appreciated this powerful identifying tool created by @jeremyhussell!
Thank you both!
Araneus diadematus is by far the most commonly observed orbweaver in the Vancouver area, especially at this time of year.
