The four-spot orb-weaver (Araneus quadratus) is a common orb-weaver spider found in Europe and Central Asia, and as far as the Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan. The spider lives in gardens, wooded areas, or wherever there is vegetation to string an orb web across. This species builds its web close to the ground to catch jumping insects such as small grasshoppers /Wikipedia/
