Comments & ID Thoughts

I have --NO-- idea. What I want it to be is the "Super Dope Cake-Butted Orb Weaver". Or "scelerisque placenta petat"

ok, this looks like it may be a “Verrucosa Arenata” – the Triangle Orb Weaver.

I think it is an arrow spider….Verrucosa arenata… Wikipedia says …”The genus name Verrucosa means “warty” in Latin, referring to the small wartlike bumps on the spider’s abdomen,….while the specific epithet arenata derives from Latin arena, meaning “sand”.”
