Comments & ID Thoughts

I believe this is either a bridge orb-weaver, or a triangulate cobweb spider, but not positive.

It did take a few years off my lifespan when i tried to toss it outside, only for said spider to swing back at me on some silk lol.

the common name Garden Spider is the Araneus diadematus.

TwistedJ, thank you for helping us. We’re all volunteers and this doesn’t happen without us. The notable marking on this spider is the weird brown pointy one over her head. 🙂

if i am right it is a female furrow spider?
