Good evening, amazing people!

I thought of joining friendlymoose@friendlymoose's POB Photo Contest this week as I have captured a few shots of St. Andrew's Cross Spider. I am not sure though, but it looks like one. I call it the X-Factor lol.

The cobwebs of St. Andrew's Cross Spiders, as they are called, are zigzag ribbons of blueish-white silk that cut a full or partial cross through the center. They say that females have a gleaming carapace and a silver, yellow, red, and darkly grouped upper midsection with two longitudinal yellow stripes underneath. The spider sits on its hind legs. While males of brown and cream colors are shorter than females.

I took these photos when I was walking my dog into the mahogany woods last weekend, and when I was about to take some photos, this little guy here just popped in front of me, lol. So mean. If anyone agrees that this is St. Andrew's Cross Spider, cool. Correct me if I'm wrong.
