mabel orchard orbweaver, Leucage argyrobapta. Cute? Yes. Dangerous? No. All spiders have venom, this one isn’t particularly potent or likely to use it. I like how one website phrased it, “only if you’re really asking to get bitten.” As in, squeezing it in your bare hand or bringing it to bed with you. Admire the spiders without pressing skin against them and you’ll be able to live together peacefully 🙂
