🕷️Barn spider
Die Spinnenart Araneus cavaticus ist eine nordamerikanische Vertreterin der Gattung der Kreuzspinnen (Araneus). Gewöhnlich ist die bis zu 22 Millimeter lange Spinne gelb- bis dunkelbraun gefärbt. Im Englischen wird die Spinne Common barn spider genannt. Zu diesem Namen kam sie wegen ihres häufigen Vorkommens in Scheunen (englisch barns), Schuppen oder ähnlichen Holzbauten. Populär wurde die Spinne als „Charlotte“ im Kinderbuch Wilbur und Charlotte (1952) von Elwyn Brooks White (1899–1985).
