Field Notes

Description:

Body about 1/2 inch long.

Habitat:

Spotted on the side of a house in a suburban town.

Notes:

This was a very uncooperative spider for photographing. The best match I've found is a Sixspotted Orbweaver.

Edit: As a point of note the second picture of this spotting was not taken by me. A friend at work took it and texted it to me. He gave me permission to use it. If this a problem let me know and I will remove it.
