Can you please identify this fellow. I am afraid. We live in a cool temperature
Might be a bridge spider by my reckoning, I’m about to look it up and verify that
Yes I would say this is Larinioides sclopetarius
I would say it looks more like a Cross Orb-weaver. Male bridge spiders usually don’t have that amount of white on their abdomen, and the pattern is different as well. I could be wrong though
I will bow my head and confirm you to be correct, I was mixed up because most of my encounters with the cross orb spider have been females but with bridge spiders have been males and you can easily see how I jumped to conclusions. But yes you are correct
Hey I don’t blame you, they also call the bridge spider a grey cross spider- that’s how similar they are. I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference but I work at a place that has hundreds of bride spiders in it
Bride spiders? I was SO confused about your workplace until I realized that it is probably a typo!
