Large, pumpkin-colored spider --Araneus marmoreus or Marbled Orbweaver-- hides in the leaf litter in the F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm area of Summit Metro Parks near Akron, Ohio. The spider is quite alive but hanging from the "ceiling" of its little leaf tent.

    This is a splendid capture! I think Miss Muffet would definitely be frightened away.
