Spotted spider - Cyclosa turbinata - Male
Hancock County, Indiana, USA
August 20, 2012
Size: 2 to 3 mm
Noticed him hanging out on the outside of a window screen.

Pair of white spots on the dorsal surface of the abdomen, as well as a pair of ventral spots placed further back.

Cyclosa sp.? A female Cyclosa has a web not terribly far away from where I found him.
