Orchard Spider - Leucauge venusta
Copyright © 2004 Mike Boone

Orchard Spider - Leucauge venusta
Greenwood County, South Carolina, USA
May 17, 2004
I'm fairly certain that this is Leucauge venusta as it's very similar to others on the BugGuide. But I'll post it in the ID Request since I'm no authority.

This was found in a horizontal orb web on my deck. Approx. 19mm from the back legs to the front. Green legs, light brown carapace with black stripes, and yellow/white/black on top of abdomen. The underside of the abdomen was mainly green and black with a small bright orange ( shaped arc, with the top of the arc pointing towards the front of the spider.
