“Furrow Orbweaver”

Clare spotted this critter. I moved it to a chair seat to photograph.

Confirmed at BugGuide as “Larinioides cornutus” or “Furrow Orbweaver”; http://bugguide.net/node/view/1348906

What I found interesting in the photos is how this spider brings its second and third legs forward for a more protective stance or posture.
