Comments & ID Thoughts

I think this is marbles orb weaver. What do you think? I was unable to submit the upper side, which shows what I believe is marbling.

Definitely looks like Araneus marmoreus, few orb weavers are so colorful.

I think it is Araneus trifolium, a shamrock orbweaver. That’s based on the color green and the markings that look like a surprised face. A. trifolium also has legs that are black or grey with white banding, like this one has. She’s a really cool-looking individual!
