Hi Jean,
This pretty little spider is a harmless Arrowshaped Micrathena, Micrathena sagittata. According to BugGuide, it spins its small webs in open woods.
thank you ever so much for identifying this spider, it really is very pretty.
I have what I think is an Orb Weaver but, not sure which kind it is, how do I email a photograph so you can help me identify my spider or a link I may use.
You may either click the “Ask WTB?” link on our homepage or use this link to submit a photograph. You should be aware that this is our busiest time of year and our small staff is unable to respond to every request.
