Agree, Micrathena sp. and looks in my eyes like being a Micrathena gracilis, juvenile female, but I am not 100% sure, so, please, verify! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16925846 http://bugguide.net/node/view/1996/bgimage
Neat spider! It reminds me of a Micrathena species but I don't know if it is. It is somewhere to start anyway! Hope it helps.
