Arrowhead Orbweaver (Verrucosa arenata)

[Eric Gofreed]

Arrowhead spider are found across North America. Unlike most orb-weavers, which have bulbous abdomens, Arrowhead spiders have abdomen that is pointy and triangular and the female's abdomen has a white or yellow triangle on it.

Can't say I have ever seen one of these before. The abdomen markings really do look like an arrowhead.

Nice macro.
