Field Notes

Description:

Small spider. About the size of a nickel. Warm flesh colored body and appendages. Abdomen was greenish yellow. Similar look to a cat-faced orb weaver but abdomen is rounded and definitely greenish.

Habitat:

Agricultural land.

Notes:

I found this beautiful little stow away on a dog kennel that I was cleaning out. It was very docile and was happy to be relocated to a bush outside! Would love to know what this beauty is. I did a little research and wasn't turning up anything that looked right!
