SpidersSpider – What species?
Dear Bugman,
This spider freaked me out. Do you know if it is dangerous? I have never seen anything like it and found it on my deck right outside my house in New York State (the Catskills). Thank you!!!
Cindy
Hi Cindy,
This is one of the Orb Weavers in the genus Araneus, probably the Marbled Orb Weaver, Araneus marmoreus. We are amazed you found this spider in New York in the dead of winter.
