A photo of a multicolored orbweaver spider hanging in her web. She has a rectangular boxy opisthosoma, her abdomen, which has orange, black, and white on the top, and green with white stripes on the sides. Her prosoma (forebody) is orange with a black stripe down the middle and along the sides. Her legs are translucent green and are slender and covered in black spine-like hairs.

A bonus #Arachtober post. Even though it's now November, I saw this magnificent orange-and-black spider yesterday on Halloween during a mushroom walk in Pocahontas Park. It's a Marbled Orbweaver (Araneus marmoreus) and can be seen here carrying its meal up to its roost in a folded leaf.
Marbled Orbweaver (Araneus marmoreus), a spider with an orange body that has intricate black markings on the abdomen. The legs are alternating bands of black and white. It is climbing up a strand of its web, carrying an small insect (possibly a fly) in its jaws. Marbled Orbweaver (Araneus marmoreus), a spider with an orange body that has intricate black markings on the abdomen. The legs are alternating bands of black and white. In this photo it has reached the folded leaves it uses as a resting place. One rear leg remains touching an anchor thread of the web. The Rorschach-like patterning of the upper surface of the abdomen is visible here.

In May we moved to the South Carolina Midlands which brough us to new #Spoods, including this magnificent Spotted Orbweaver, Neoscona Crucifera, one of many scattered around the edge of our house.

Her forebody is covered in tan hairs, her small eyes glossy and black. Her round abdomen is cream colored with black shading forward, turning into spots further back. Her web shines against the darkness

Thank you to everyone that bought a shirt - I really appreciate the support!! 🧡🕷️

Here's an EXCEPTIONALLY orange Marbled Orbweaver (Araneus marmoreus) I found on a hike yesterday. Very seasonal, very pumpkin, very beautiful 🧑‍🌾🎃

For a recent ornithology pop-up exhibition at work I made up a set of buttons featuring birds from Audubon's Birds of North America. Here are a few of them (always nice when side hustle skills come in handy at day job) 🐡🎨🪶

The Orchard Orbweaver spins her circular web in the horizontal plane, like most members of the long-jawed orbweaver family Tetragnathidae. They normally live in the forest understory, but this one was inside a barn. Seven Islands State Birding Park, Knox County, Tennessee, USA #Arachtober #bugsky
Small, silvery spider, oblong, with front two pairs of legs bright blue-green. Abdomen with three narrow, vertical black stripes. Carapace with thin black line down the center. Spider hanging upside down in horizontal orb web. Walls of barn interior out of focus in background.
