Spidersspider
Greetings-
This spider has been building a spectacular web outside my parent’s house for the last 2 weeks. Its body is about 1 inch long (head to tail), and about 2 inches from tip of front legs to tip of back legs. It has spots on its back that aren’t obvious in this photo- it builds its web each night and hides during the day so we have had trouble taking its picture! It is a magnificent spider, but we haven’t seen anything like this before (in Cupertino, California) and I we are wondering if it is introduced from somewhere else.
your help will be much appreciated!
cheers,
Karah
Hi Karah,
Your Orb Weaver, Araneas species, is a common spider in the United States as well as other parts of the world. The spiders spin a new web each night.
