Rhomphaea seems very possible. This is a male. R. fictilium males don't look like this, particularly. Then there is R. projicians, but there are no males in BG for that one.

That is a strange and interesting find. I think Tom has seen similar.

Excellently taken, rich in color and a high degree detail. I've yet to see anything like it so thanks for sharing yours with me.

From what I can find, this is rare. Two US records. Oregon and Kentucky.
It is related to Black Widows and House spiders.

Nice shots. Although the chelicerae aren't typical, there's something about the say it sits in the web, and the abdomen that - to me - suggests maybe Tetragnathidae. Yeah, I know. I haven't had my coffee yet, so chalk up the wild guess to lack of caffeine.

W.A.G.s welcomed here....still waiting on BG, after looking that up it's the spinneret location that negates it for me
