On a recent trip to FL I came across several of these spiders. They were almost as big as my hand. This one was probably fourteen feet up between two trees. I think it might be a trashline orb weaver but not sure. This was taken with my 100-400 lens.

Lovely capture - don't think it's a trashline spider but not sure what it is.

Thanks for the reply. These were taken out at Merit Island on the Bio lab road they were everywhere but couldn't get an ID. the Trashline looked the closest.
