Spiderswhat’s this spider?
Hi:
Found this guy hanging out on our siding. Never seen one like this in our area. We live in Upper Michigan .
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
It appears you have a photo of a Marbled Orb Weaver, Araneus marmoreus. These are shy spiders that hide in a retreat, only emerging when prey has been snagged in their web. It is found throughout the United States, north to Alaska.
