Lampshade Weaver - Hypochilus pococki - female

Lampshade Weaver - Hypochilus pococki - Female
Old Sugarlands Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 8, 2008
Size: circa 15 mm body length
Another couple of shots of the Lampshade Weavers, near the same location as this one by John and Jane, so presumably the same species, and presumably a female:


If I am interpreting the NPS map correctly, this was on the Old Sugarlands Trail, which runs along the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River. This was one of several spiders at the base of a cliff with lots of poison ivy growing up it.
Edit (2019!): Location may be here--not 100% sure on that: 35.679144, -83.529717
Nearby visitor center is at: 35.68522 -83.53671
