Yellow Sac Spider

[kynekh_amagire]

These spiders occasionally show up on "medically significant" lists, perhaps unfairly. It's hard to gather accurate spider envenomation data, for a variety of reasons. Anyway, they're cute and cheerful and yellow. I used to free-handle them and have never been bitten.

Found this one tiptoeing around on my porch.

You weren't asking me but... is it some kind of spiny orb weaver? Guessing... a Spined Micrathena?



Just a guess!

Just to corroborate, since tailypo got here first: yep, looks like a spined micrathena to me, too! They're pretty.

Glad you like the spiderpix. Heh, sometimes I worry about terrorizing people.
