Tiny spider with three orange markings - Leucauge venusta
Garland, Dallas County, Texas, USA
June 25, 2017
It was about the size of a pinhead and I noticed it because I saw a glowing yellow-orange spot. I used my macro and found that it had an orange marking on the underside of the abdomen and two on either side of the end of the top. It also had an interesting marking at the end of the top of the abdomen but I could not find anything that looked like it. Due to its location in the hedges in the front of my house, I was unable to get a shot of the top of the spider.
