Cyclosa conica
Copyright © 2014 Elizabeth G.

Cyclosa conica
Amenia, Dutchess County, New York, USA
July 1, 2014
Size: ≤1 cm
Crouched in center of web which hung from a patio chair to umbrella. Scampered up to the edge of the umbrella when I approached. Might have been immature, considering its tiny size. I have other photos, not sure how I could post others, but I thought this was most informative because you can see the little red spot on the underside.

You can post other images by clicking on "add image"
under this one. A challenging angle for spider ID, but the shape seems to call out for Cyclosa. We think we would see the tubercles of turbinata from this angle if they were there, so we would suggest C. conica instead.
