Garden Cobweb Spider - Enoplognatha ovata - Female
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
August 14, 2006
Size: 11mm
I was photographing bees and skippers, when a honeybee almost got nabbed by this sneaky spider. I am pretty sure it's E. ovata, but if I'm wrong, or if it is just too iffy, I can move it.
These are extremely common in my garden, both with red and without.
