Moved from Larinioides patagiatus. Sorry about that... this is actually L. cornutus. It can look very similar to patagiatus, but with no mid-band on metatarsus IV it should be cornutus.

Moved from Furrow spiders.

Moved from Spiders. I guess I'd lean toward Larinioides patagiatus on this one.

Thanks, all.
It's not the sharpest pic, so feel free to frass if it doesn't add anything to the Guide.
