This female orb spider began making her web about three weeks before this male joined her for the evening. They continued mating for quite a while so I captured this collection of videos and still shots.
The male would jump from the female, like at 1:32, every few minutes.
I think they are Neoscona arabesca, a positive ID is welcome.
yes they look like neoscona arabesca
