Can you tell me what type of spider this beauty is? The web was so interesting. The spider is about an inch or a little less in size. It’s web was close to the gound in some ivy.
Thanks,
Anne
Hi Anne,
You have sent in a photo of Miranda aurantia, the Yellow Garden Spider. The web is unique. They are orb web builders who place a stabilimentum in the center. It is believed to act as a camoflague for the spider. Your spider has made the lace-like stabilimentum. The spider is widely distributed in the United States and other parts of the world.
