Widow-type spider in Florida - Leucauge argyrobapta
Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, USA
March 14, 2019
Size: very small
There are two that I see that have spun a web from a tree to shrubs that line our house. I saw a white marking on the back of one and they both have this bright orange marking on their underside. I had to put a sheet of white paper under the web string to be able to focus my phone on them. Any information is helpful. Thanks!
