Spider ID? - Neoscona crucifera
Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA
August 14, 2010
Size: 1 cm
Can this be identified? I found it as you see on a patch of brown lawn. It appeared comatose. When I nudged it with a leaf, however, it uncurled and ran off at great speed. So fast, that I couldn't get another photo. I just had a blurred impression of red or maroon femurs as it scuttled away. An orbweaver? Barn spider? Neoscona?
