largest Gray Cross Spider I've seen - Larinioides sclopetarius - Female
Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington, USA
September 21, 2009
Size: ~12 mm
Found this large female dead on the concrete under a very tall (made for lighting a park sport court) lamp post. I could see other orb weavers living up there... quite high! I'm not sure if this one died and fell or fell then died, but it was still fresh and made for easy photography.
