Marbled Orb Weaver - Araneus marmoreus - Male
Adams County, Pennsylvania, USA

Can't seem to find a match in the guide for this very small spider. I wonder if any one recognizes it?
Thanks for any help to ID it.

We would guess it to be
a male Araneus marmoreus. Check in the guide there while you wait for a firm ID from Jeff.

Agree...
it sure looks like the male, J & J. Didn't hear anything from Jeff on it.
