Is this Verrucosa arenata? - Verrucosa arenata
Wildwood Park, Radford City County, Virginia, USA
August 25, 2020
Size: About 1 cm
In a deeply shady, forested area. Photo taken in late morning. Note that the spider is sitting in web with head up. I could not get a full view of the back without either breaking the web or falling off a cliff.
