Venusta Orchard Spider

I guess it's the season for spiders. I found this one on my patio today. Note to self: watch out for spiders in things on the patio.
What great color on this spider.

Pretty markings, what long legs!

@chejja Thank you Caroline. Unfortunately the fact that it was upside down made it a bit hard to identify.
@fbailey Thank you Felicity. I thought the smiley face on the belly side would make identification easier, but no. Those photos are mainly focused on the top side.

He is a beautiful spider! Love his colors. Great macro!

Nice colours.

Gosh beautiful colours, how big is this ( and how close did you get??!)

This is a colourful incy winky.

wonderful detail and clarity Kathy! I may try to find one today too!

I could only look at this quickly as I'm not a spider fan but was stuck by the vibrant colours of it. 🙂

I wave my arm in front of me before I go out the back door in the morning so I don't get tangled in a web.

Great shot of this nice colored spider.

At least these have some nice colors on them- and they don't seem to get too big either. I don't mind spiders as long as they're not in my house! Good catch!

Well captured -- great vivid tones along with a strong composition.

Great pov and focus.

Great photo! I nearly drove into one like this on the lawn tractor!!
August 18th, 2020  
Yikes!
August 18th, 2020  
Great capture so clear

@mzzhope Thank you Hope. Haven't been out to see if it moved on or stayed in place today.
@overalvandaan I really thought the site I used to identify this would discuss the underbelly too since it's bright and colorful. Thank you. @30pics4jackiesdiamond I'm not good with distances (that's why my focus is off a lot of times) but I think about 18". I did zoom in, then cropped the original photo too. The actual spider is probably about 1/4 inch.
@wakelys I always thought this song was "The Inky Dinky Spider." And it was colorful.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. Good luck on your search. I don't tend to seek them out.
@serendypyty Thank you Cazzi. Not a huge fan. I don't run from them but don't want them crawling on me either.
@tunia I know what you mean. Usually not quite that bad here.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry.
@olivetreeann I have little "spider traps" in my house. I don't want them getting into shoes or crawling around on me. They can stay outside.
@taffy Thanks Taffy.
@haskar Thank you Haskar.
@thewatersphotos This is a fairly small web, no more than 12" in diameter and the spider is actually very small. I have walked through bigger webs in my life and really don't like them about my face. @jb030958 😊
@craftymeg Thanks very much Margaret.

Wow, that's tiny!!! Is it poisonous???

@randystreat I have seen one in my crepe Myrtle not too long ago and went out to look for it but couldn’t find it
August 19th, 2020  
Interesting emerald legs !

@30pics4jackiesdiamond It was pretty small. I don't think it's poisonous.
@cocobella That was one of the things that helped me identify it.
August 20th, 2020  
Wow. I missed seeing this when you first posted it. I love the green legs. I don't think I've seen one like this.

@mcsiegle Thanks Mary. I admit, I don't take a lot of time or get to close to spiders. They are not my favorite.
