#cobweb spider
Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
I thought for sure that an id was out of the question on this cobweb spider, because I only caught a shot of the underside, but it turns out that the shape of the epigyne (external genital structure on females, which is what you probably guessed it was from the name ;-)) is an id character for this species, which Aaron McKee helpfully pointed out is Steatoda borealis.
Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
This cobweb spider (I think) was quite intent on sucking the life out of the leafhopper it snagged. From the side of my house near a light, last July :-).
