Hi. I can only tell his is a male orb weaver in the Araneidae family. Just can’t peg the genus or species. Not dangerous at all. They will drown if stuck in water too long.
Thanks. I was assuming it was a male but I wasn’t sure of much else.
Hi, welcome to Spider ID. ๐ This looks like a male Furrow Orb-weaver, Larinioides cornutus.
Thank you very much
Youโre welcome, sorry I just realized I made a typo up there and corrected it. Should have read Larinioides cornutus. (Accidently typed Neoscona cornutus because I was thinking of an ID that was left on another thread and combined the two, oops ๐ ).
