Hi all,
I came across this spider on my patio, while it was creating its web. It was spinning the web from a line that I imagine it had dropped from a tree overhead. The back side had light green and yellow flecks on it, and it appeared to have a white-ish colored back side and brown legs. At first, I thought it might be a type of crab or flower spider, but thought that might not be the case because it was spinning a web, and had trapped a moth in the web? I'm in South Florida, and the spider is spinning the web above a jasmine bush which borders my butterfly garden. Thank you!
