Northern Orbweaver
Aculepeira packardi is an orb-weaving spider in the family Araneidae, commonly known as the Northern Orbweaver. The species has a broad transcontinental distribution spanning North America and Eurasia. It constructs characteristic spiral wheel-shaped webs to capture prey. The species was first described by Thorell in 1875 under the basionym Epeira packardii.
