Orchard Orbweaver

Leucauge venusta

Description:

A small (0.5 in?), slightly-shiny spider I found on its web under the light outside my back door.

Notes:

The golden coloring in one of the photos may be due to the color of the light above the spider. It was preying on the moths which fly around the outdoor light.
