She’s beautiful! Her colors and markings are a rarer combination. I found my first orbweaver when it was resting in a “sleeping bag” of silk and leaves like yours. Her cuteness lead me to this website to learn more.
Thank you! What a wonderful, delightful surprise this spider was for me. I too, stumbled across this website to try to learn more. Unfortunate that so many people can’t get past their horror too see the beauty and diversity of these creatures.
Aww, thanks. That’s exactly why this website was created. I was looking through my own spider photos last night and realized I photographed a Spitting Spider. I didn’t know they could be found here in New Hampshire. They’re in Massachusetts too. They are usually near sinks. They’re tiny, delicate, translucent little things with black markings. Someone in Asia described the one in her house as her “beautiful little tattooed ninja warrior.” I like that a lot.
