Field Notes

Description:

Brown spider with alternating bands of color down its legs.

Habitat:

This is the spider that has decided to spin its web each night on the walk in front of our house. Which means that I have to be careful when letting the dog out at night, or the spider will have a lot of work spinning its web all over again.

Notes:

I haven't yet been able to determine exactly what kind of orb-weaver this is.
