Field Notes

Description:

Orb weaver found in the middle of its (her, I think) web on a young winged elm. Body length approximately 1 cm.

Habitat:

Edge of deciduous forest fragment.

Notes:

None of the pictures are very good, but I believe the combination of pictures is sufficient for a positive ID.
