Green and Gold Spider with prey - Leucauge venusta
Prospect Park, Kings County, New York, USA
September 20, 2009
Size: small, few mm
These small green and gold and white web spiders are fairly common around here, though hard to photograph. Webs seem to be low to the ground, though that may be selection bias.
