Green, orange and white spider - Araneus guttulatus

Green, orange and white spider - Araneus guttulatus
Pasadena, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
June 12, 2007
Size: ~2mm
I think I recall seeing something similar in the guide once upon a time but I can't remember where. I think this is an orb weaver of some sort, but quite unsure. Do adults come this small or is this an immature? I found this crawling along in my lawn and moved it to the concrete to take pictures so as not to lose it in the grass. These are all the pics I was able to get before it got away in the lawn again. Please feel free to frass.

A number of similar Araneus in the guide
but the last one looks just like yours.

 
Yes the third one
is the one I was looking for. Mine does most resemble that one. If I had used the browse tab instead of the images tab, I would have found it. Thanks!
