Leucauge venusta

Comments & ID Thoughts

Leucauge venusta! Orchard orbweaver. First Leucauge sp. for NH for the site! It's a spiderling. Was found between a leaf of a peony and a flower stem with a horizontal web, which is normal for the species. I saw a lot of Leucauge spiderlings near the tops of mountains in New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago. This was the first that I got a clear photo of.
