The Humped Trashline Orbweaver (Cyclosa Turbinata)! I saw a few of these teeny fellas out walking the Betty B Dearing trail recently, they’re known for the trashline they build into their web; little bits and bobs they find and set up in a line across the sticky silk which they then hide amongst, making it harder for predators to locate this neat little spider!
Photos 4-6 are a couple bonus Orb Weavers I found out on the same trip. No ID on photo 4 but it was an extremely small spider! Photos 5-6 I believe are a Gem-shaped Orbweaver (Araneus Gemma) I found hanging out at the start of the trail!
