Comments & ID Thoughts

A tiny 2mm spider I found eating breakfast on my porch window this morning. I’m almost certain it’s a baby version of a spider I saw and could not identify last year which was much larger. I will post the bigger version if there’s a way.

Hi, I can’t see the pattern on the abdomen as well as I’d like to be sure. One possibility is Neoscona arabesca.
