Comments & ID Thoughts

Maybe Giant Crab Spider or Hentz Orb-Weaver? Body was about about 1.5 inches with a large sac on its back. Underside had a black, almost hourglass-type shape, with white spots on the sides. Found in backyard, hanging from a set of string lights. Web was probably 6 feet wide.
