That spider shot is WONDERFUL, as I said….but I still think you could tone down the green a little more…

I *think* it is an Orb Spider, but I am not sure, either…

It seems like the same spider variety that used to roam in my garden. While it definitely seems to resemble an Eriophora variety, I’m not an expert to confirm it

btw, : “Orb spider” is like saying “four legged mammal”. There are over 2800 species of orb-weaving spiders

I think I’ll call it Orb-weaver and leave it at that

Well, then, I stand by my statement that it is an Orb Spider! (as opposed to a Wood Spider or Jumping Spider or…)If you think I am going to commit to an id with a 2799-time opportunity to be wrong…

Please, I belong to the species Homo vagueus…all those pictures of the Warblers on the 7 pages of my bird-book look exactly the same to ME…
