Round here I see mostly Tegenaria and Araneus diadematus, though. The only Salticidae I've seen are the tiny Zebras. Spiders are great, full stop.

They're pretty common around here. They'll stay entirely still around people trying to avoid attention. I kept thinking they were all dead up here, until I saw one eating something that wandered onto their web. Add to that the little tripwire they have to their webs... If I had a better camera, I'd take some pictures of them next year. I like Araneus Gemmiodes myself. They’re pretty common around here.
