Pale green with zigzag white marking running down its back. Stiff black hairs on its legs. Almost 2 cm long.
Found walking on the back of my hand clutching its kill so placed it in the nearest tree, may have landed there while walking through tall grass.
Could anyone name this for me?
Hi! I agree with EmilieC that this is a Neoscona species. Since the picture is so clear, you can see a dark dorsal ridge (the vertical depression on the spider’s cephalothorax), which helps distinguish it from Araneus species.
Hi Jennifer! We will share this in our Facebook group and hopefully help with an identification for you soon :)
