Red Orb Weaver - Araniella displicata - Female
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
March 3, 2007
Size: body 7mm
I found this little spider with a tiny orb web about 5cm across in my Western Hemlock. I haven't seen one of these, before (that I'm aware). Hopefully I got good enough shots to get an ID.
