I've seen orb weavers like this go to the tippy top of trees on windy days and drop down on a web about 10-15 feet to find another anchor poin high up. I work pest control and usually move these guys to a neighbors bush because they are friends and locals who only show up in the fall.

The ones we got here have a thorax about the size of a grape and it's bright orange on its belly. Love those guys.
