It looks like both Neoscona crucifera and Araneus cavaticus are called barn spiders, though the latter is the namesake. Thanks for the specifics, I learned something new and will update my comment :D
No need to apologize at all! I'm a novice spider lover so I'm constantly learning. I think Neoscona can be called a barn spider but it's not THE barn spider. Confusing but nice to know.

Thanks, too. I didn't realise Neoscona was also refered to as barn spider. I really should have known that.
I basically called you out for using the "wrong" common name, though the pictures were of the right spiders. Sorry about that.
