I found this Arrowhead Spider (Verrucosa arenata) almost immediately upon arriving at Piney Woods Church Road this morning, resting head-up (the only local orb-weaving spider that does so) in the midst of her large web, whose center was at the height of the top of my head. The Arrowhead is fast becoming one of my favorite of Georgia’s many colorful spiders. Like all other orb weavers, the Arrowhead Spider is harmless to humans.
