Feathered Legged Orbweaver

Uloborus glomosus

Habitat:

Found amongst the tools in the back of my pickup truck. I had traveled from Tallahassee to Palm City Florida the day before. The next morning I saw this spider. So I'm not sure where the spider got there.

Notes:

The pics of the spider are not very good . But the web really glowed in the morning sun and had a unique stabilimentum. I've not been able to find any pictures of a stabilimentum exactly like this one. I will call it a spiral, zig zag, discoid stabilimentum. Members of this Family produce a cribellate web. It's not sticky but snags prey with wooly fibers. They also have no venom. They are orb weavers but are not closely related to other orb weavers.
