Spidersspider identification
Hello,
I found this spider in my back yard in CT hiding in the corner of my daughters swing set behind a beautiful web. Can you identify it?
Best Regards,
Mike
Hi Mike,
You definitely have an Orbweaver from the genus Araneus, and we believe it to be the Spectacled Spider, Aranea gigas conspicellata. The black markings on your spider are very pronounced. She is a female and harmless. Thanks for sending the beautiful photo.
