Electric Green Spider
Hi;
Attached are 2 macro photos of a small spider, 1/4" max. which I photographed on the door of my daughter’s car last week. The spider seemed to have an almost "electric" or "International Orange" type yellow/green glow to its abdomen, the photo doesn’t do it justice. My daughter says you may be able to help identify it. Thank You
Jim Pollister
PS-I told my daughter to stop playing with those radioactive materials!!!
PPS: I saw your note about the number of requests your getting. No rush but I really would like to get an answer sometime.

Hi Jim,
If we don’t answer a letter shortly after its arrival, chances are very good it will just get lost in the black hole of our mailbox and get deleted after time. The constant influx of new mail quickly replaces older unanswered mail. We found your spider on BugGuide. This is Araneus cingulatus, and there is no common name.
