cobweb spider - Enoplognatha ovata - Female
Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington, USA
June 21, 2008
Enoplognatha ovata has several color morphs. This one is form lineata, with several pairs of dorsolateral spots, but no red stripes. Form redimita has two dorsolateral red stripes running the length of the abdominal dorsum. Form ovata, the least common morph, has a solid red band running the length of the abdominal dorsum (upper surface of the abdomen).
