Found this odd looking critter (I guess most spidies are odd looking)..could not stack him ..too windy..been so long since I posted I don't remember how..yikes
From what I could find he has the appearance of a "cat's eyes"

The untidy web means it is not an orb-weaver.

I think it is a Theridion or maybe another genus in the same family

I believe it to be.. Cat-faced spider - Araneus illaudatus

I now see now that it is probably the edge of an orb web, in which case it could be Araneus illaudatus.

I think the Araneus illaudatus is a decent guess, but that it is actually a relative: Araneus marmoreus. The former has a narrow range between Arizona and Texas, and the latter frequents Vermont (where I am) and Canada, among other places. The OP is from Canada.

I happened to capture this guy out in our sugar woods a couple weeks ago. Here's a Vermonter version of Araneus...
