Six-spotted Orb Weaver - Araniella displicata

Six-spotted Orb Weaver - Araniella displicata
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
June 10, 2009
Size: 6mm
Here, I had captured it in a plastic container so I could see it's dorsal side...the black object in it's "mouth" is a hapless fly that was unlucky enough to be captured with the spider.
