Hi there! Found this beauty on my porch in July 2009 in Southern NJ. Haven’t seen him before or since. Pattern is really cool, haven’t been able to find anything about him here or online.

Dear MYP,
It is quite unfortunate that this lovely green Orbweaver, Araneus cingulatus, does not have a common name.  You can see additional images on BugGuide.

    You should hold a contest to give these guys a name, they’re too cute not to be recognized! I submit that they should be called green charmers.
