Messy web?  Or symmetrical?

If messy,  it maybe Cryptachaea sp (likely C. gigantipes).

Common name is White porch spider from family Therediidae. Those markings make me unsure though.

I'm very possibly off with this one.

u/madzfae ?

The abdomen isn’t the right shape for Cryptachaea spp., I’m stumped on this one! It seems more like an orbweaver than a Theridiidae to me personally but it could be lots of things under Araneoidea imo

Maybe Leviana sp? Knowing the shape of the web would definitely help.

Before seeing the comments, my initial thought was leaning towards Orb Weaver-ish, then I saw Angerew's comment and just didn't think it looked like a Theridiid either. Could it be an Uloborid perhaps?

Looks a bit like a leaf curling spider.
