Cricket-bat orb weaver

Small, 3-4 mm. Yellow with white and black pattern.
Orb weavers (Family Araneidae) comprise a huge family of spiders. These spiders vary greatly in color, shape and size, measuring between 2 - 30mm (1/16 -- 1 1/4") long. They have eight eyes arranged in two horizontal rows of four eyes each. The males are generally much smaller than the females and commonly lack the showy coloring of their fairer sex. They often spin their own smaller orb web near an outlying portion of the female's.
