Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

I'm not even sure if this is a spider. I think I found it in the process of building a web from my monitor to my desk chair. It had one long string and globs of silk on it which it gobbled up once I disturbed it.
It had a mostly bright white back, and a bright golden belly. It was fairly small. Maybe a 1/4 inch or so.

Nice find! This is Micrathena mitrata, a White Micrathena Orbweaver Spider. We don’t see many photos of them. This may become our site’s first confirmed sighting for Virginia if it is confirmed by our moderator.
