Spider with an arrow on its back - Metepeira labyrinthea
Madison, Madison County, Alabama, USA
August 5, 2008
Size: 3/8 - 1/2 "
Found on the right rear fender of my car in grocery store parking lot.

Moved
Moved from Metepeira.

Range
Based on ranges in the Levi publication we are using I think this has to be M. labyrinthea.

Moved
Moved from Orb Weavers.

id
garden cross spider

Our first thought was
Larinioides patagiatus, but now it doesn't look quite right. Is it the striped legs that look so different? Maybe Lynette will give us her thoughts.
