mystery solved


The answer to yesterday’s post came from Rikki Hall, as I knew it would.


“That’s definitely an orb weaver (family Araneidae), and I think it’s Eriophora ravilla. We’re at the northern edge of their range, so you don’t see them as often as other orb weavers.”


Rikki is a darn good naturalist and if you put him in the tall grass, he can talk for hours about the spiders and such he finds there.
