SpidersWe found this in our backyard in Winchester VA
If you find out what this is, could you please let us know. I’m most interested to learn if it is poisonious or not.
Thanks much!
Alicia
Hi Alicia,
This is an Arrow-Shaped Micrathena female, Micrathena sagittata. It is found at woodland edges, shrubby meadows and gardens in the East, ranging as far west as Texas. They are harmless orb weavers. Do you know the famous pediatrician Winston Lutz of Winchester?
