Comments & ID Thoughts

I suspect this is some kind of orb weaver. It remained nearly stationary for about 3 minutes on this cylindrical inflorescence (about 2.5 cm in diameter) and then crawled somewhere out of sight inside the dense cluster. The shrub, which I think is Spiraea douglasii, is found on a gravelly roadside on somewhat elevated ground near the Squamish River. I saw no sign of a web.
