Looks like they have a happy face on their backs in black spots. They're the coolest spiders I've ever seen. Maybe this will give me a place to start. I've been trying to find out what they are for months.Sam Jasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609640045088229908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-54379357154232536392009-09-27T12:04:41.858-05:002009-09-27T12:04:41.858-05:00Thank Ashe'!

Also found two of the tiny green orb-weavers (leucauge venusta).<br /><br />On Monday, a friend of the name "Hubbard" will be visiting! (no relation, btw)<br /><br />Strange coincidence?
