Western Spotted Orbweaver

Neoscona oaxacensis

Description:

Gray spider with black and orange pattern on the abdomen. The long legs are gray and black striped. There was a poor web that may have been recently destroyed by prey but this is an orb weaver. A yellow version of this species can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/121...

Habitat:

California Buckwheat along trail.

Notes:

This was spotted by one of my teen nature enthusiasts :)
