Moved from Furrow spiders. ID based on lack of selling on tibia II.

Excellent work!
Yes, in the genus Larinioides and Lynette can probably tell you which one. We would say not cornutus, so check out the other two.

Yes, male orb weaver -- harmless
Leave a comment if you want more of a hint.

Not an expert myself -
but I would start with the orb weavers... The large pedipalps means it's an adult male.
