Comments & ID Thoughts
I was in skull valley Utah and saw this white back spider. The bottom had black spots. Curious what it is. Have never seen anything like it.

- Spider: Unidentified
- Location: Skull Valley, Utah, United States
- Spotted Outdoors: Low foliage (shrubs, herbs, garden, excluding flowers)
- Found in web?: No
- Attributes:
The closest species that I can think of is Argiope trifasciata. Sometimes they lack the black and yellow markings. This one may be ill, possibly infested with parasitic wasp larvae. Her abdominal shape looks a little bit too big. Even if she was gravid with eggs of her own this seems a bit too stretched out.
