Its so colorful and the web has a yellow tinge. Do you think it could be a joro spider

BugmanDan

I didn’t compare with the Joro spider so very well could be.
After a good look, I see I was wrong.

That doesn’t happen that often Dan. That reverse is familiar to me because I once got the scale all wrong and confidently identified it as a Tetragnatha. oops

BugmanDan

Well, hey, even I make mistakes.
