Mastophora (bolas spider) - Mastophora hutchinsoni
Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
August 28, 2020
My best guess is M. hutchinsoni, but that's just a guess. More photos can be provided. I didn't want to swamp the guide, but there aren't many bolas spider pics available yet, so let me know if you'd like some more. On common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca).
