- Attributes:
She’s a Marbled Orbweaver, near the end of her lifespan. She has oviposited her eggs and she’s weak and using water on the ground for hydration and nutrients instead of building webs. She has nice vibrant red and yellow coloring. The colors and markings vary with the individuals of the species. I like seeing each of them, they’re all pretty.
