    Have to be pretty big, whatever it is.

    I'm not expert, but I did work at a botanical garden where we had a few banana spiders that seemed to like our rose bushes.

    I'd say banana spider is a decent bet, but I'm not sure if they live that far north.

    I looked up some info on banana spiders and don't see how this could be the spider. I don't think their normal range extends this far north. The spider I saw in the web was maybe a half inch (legs included) in all. The main part of the web was about a foot across.

    Looks like a black orb weavers web from what i can tell. and banana spiders have a golden colored web so definately not a banana.
