I'm finding a lot of these spiders. In fact I'm discovering that many of the small orb weavers that I had assumed were Leucage venusta are Mangora on closer inspection. I can post more of these images if it would help with identification, but didn't want to overwhelm you with more otherwise.

What would be great is if you could capture one that looks like
this and give it a nice aquarium home and feed it and take pictures of how it changes as it molts. To see how the same individual spider changes color patterns as it grows would be wonderful.

We're not yet sure how to separate
M maculata from M. spiculata for these darker specimens :(
