Marbled Orbweaver
Araneus marmoreus
Marbled orbweavers live in gardens, hedgerows, forest edges, and other shrubby habitats with places to anchor an orb web. They wait near the web for flying insects, rushing out to wrap and bite trapped prey. Their rounded abdomen is often patterned with pale and dark marbling, though its color is highly variable. Females commonly consume and rebuild their webs as conditions change.
