Baby Micrathena - Micrathena sagittata - Male
Davie, Fort Lauderdale County, Florida, USA
September 24, 2006
This one had different coloration and was much smaller than the other arrow-like micrathena I posted the other day, plus it has a different look to its front half... I would be curious as to what the species is.

Thanks,

Charles
