I see one or two of these every year here in NY, a very colorful spider. The largest one I've seen was still less than 1" in length. Never seen it off of the web. Any ideas of what type of spider this is?

Thanks, WC

This looks like an orchard spider (Leucauge venusta; family Tetragnathidae) - see http://www.cirrusimage.com/spider_Venusta_Orchard.htm

Thank you, the underside 'eye' in the second horizontal photo is a match, along with it's profile!
