Venusta Orchard Spider (Leucauge genus)? - Leucauge venusta - Female
Jacksonville, Florida, USA
May 24, 2008
Hello again,

Another picture were validation would be much appreciated.

I believe this is a female Venusta Orchard Spider (Leucauge genus).
Picture was taken around noon at a "putt-putt" (mini golf) in Jacksonville, Florida. I spotted this spider hanging between several bushes quite close to the ground.

Again, thank you all in advance for any help.
