To john and jane balaban
Thanks for the ID! The bugguide says there are 3 species. I looked at all three, but I still can't ID this one as to species. Can anyone help? In any case, thanks for your help! Would you like me to move this to the proper place in the guide or should I wait to see if someone can identify the species?

You can tag and move it to Larinioides
Maybe at a later date someone will go through all the images and sort them to species.

Ok, based on everything we can read
this one with the white forward pointing V and the abdominal pattern outlined in white is L. sclopetarius. We'll move it there.
