Penultimate Male Tropical Orbweaver - Eriophora ravilla - Male
Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA
April 29, 2017
Size: ~15 mm
While spider hunting in my yard tonight, I was surprised to find this penultimate male Eriophora ravilla, a species that is normally found in the Gulf states. This is the first time I have seen one.

His web is attached to azaleas and is close to the ground.
