Orb-weaver spider (juvenile/immature)

Typically found in gardens, forests, and suburban landscapes where they can construct webs between plants or structures.

Carnivorous; feeds primarily on insects like flies, moths, and mosquitoes that become trapped in their circular, sticky webs.

Known for spinning classic wheel-shaped 'orb' webs. Most are nocturnal or crepuscular, often rebuilding their webs daily. They use vibrations from the web to locate and immobilize prey.

Highly beneficial to the ecosystem as natural pest controllers. They are generally not aggressive toward humans; while most have a mild venom to subdue prey, it is rarely medically significant to people.
