araniella? - Araniella displicata
Brossard, Quebec, Canada
Size: 4mm
This small spider, about 4mm, was found hanging on the underside of a horizontal orb web about 5-6 cm across that was built over a leaf (Chinese lantern plant). It looks to me like some of the photos of Araniella- six-spotted orb web spider.
