Identifying common orbweavers from the underside

This time of the year we see a lot of orbweaver spiders (often running into their webs face-first on the trail!). We have a number of species in the Lower Mainland, here is a great guide to help identify them if you are unable to see the dorsal (top) of the abdomen to look for identifying marks.
