Unusual white spider - Larinia - Female
Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri, USA
May 6, 2009
Size: 3/8 inch
This pretty little spider had a web near our pond in some tall grass. I nearly missed seeing her. She was so light in color and almost "disappeared" in the web. She was a little smaller than a nickel legs and body.

Thank you so much, I did a ra
Thank you so much, I did a random search on Bugguide for white spider and it brought nothing up that matched. I didn't even consider that this was an orb weaver, it looked so different.
