Noticed this cute little dude made a home around my bike and fridge today. Thousands Oaks, CA.
Orb weaver, can’t be sure of the species without seeing the abdomen, but she’s a good friend to have and harmless to anything bigger than a bee.
Can Orb Weavers be this small? I have never seen one so small. Its diameter is no wider than a pencil eraser.
Every spider starts life the size of a pinhead, and orb weavers are able to build webs when they’re fresh from the egg sac
Ah, okay. Thank you.
