Nice find, Karen!!
Thank you! I rarely see them until fall, though - I guess they're just too small earlier on?
Excellent spotting!! I am really coming to enjoy these orb weavers, not just for their beauty, but for the amount of good they do in the gardens. They really do clean house so to speak on pesky insects that tend to eat the plants. Natures best pest control is itself. :-D
