Arrowshaped Micrathena,
by: Moni

Jason
Dawn found a female Arrowshaped micrathena. This is an Orb-weaver spiders. Spiders in the Micrathena genus are known for their distinctive spikes and vibrant colors. The Arrowshaped Micrathena are about 1/2" long and are common in meadows, along the edges of forests, and along wooded trails. All of these spiders are notorious for weaving their webs at face-level along trails. They do not pose a danger to humans... if they are threatened or trapped and happen to bite it is no worse than a mosquito bite.
They feed on insects that come into the web and are beneficial in the garden.
