Hello I took this photo of this tiny spider on my car in August of this year. It is the size of a lady bug if not smaller. Are you able to identify it? Please let me know, thank you.

Hi family! I saw this small speck on my car. I looked closer and it was a beautiful, lovely little lime green/yellow spider!
Also it was smaller than a lady bug.
It’s a red-spotted orbweaver, Araneus cingulatus.
Very cute! As kin, I should warn you about our spider Thanksgiving get-together. There’s this history of cannibalism in our family…
