Triangular spider in the triangle
What kinds of spider is triangular in body shape and exist here in this region ?
Google didn't show much results except for australian spiders. I can't get a good focus on it with my digital camera but it looks like this: http://display.homeunix.org/spider1.jpg http://display.homeunix.org/spider2.jpg reddish color in shape with yellowish/gold belly marking. Thanks for any info. |

That critter looks pretty small! Try searching Google Images for "spider
mites" to see if it turns up anything. (BTW, the google tool bar makes it simple to search directly for pictures; you can download it from the Google website.)

It's about the size of one of my finger nail (not the thumb or little finger).
I didn't think spider mites are that large and can spin webs. Anyhow, my primary concern is whether it's poisonous or not... I'll check to see if it's a spider mites or not though.

Along with a picture that looks a bit like yours, it says: Triangular Spiders (Arkys species, fam. Araneidae) have triangular or heart-shaped bodies that are red, yellow, or orange and have white or yellow spots. The legs span about a one cent coin. The head, body, and legs are all one colour. Arcys hunt amongst the foliage of shrubs and captures prey with the first two pairs of legs, which are heavily spined. Recorded bites have caused only redness and swelling.

It was the size of the leaf that threw me off -- the critter looked teeny
against the leaf. Sorry about that! Those must be big, big leaves (or I totally missed the bug). Anne Lurie NE Raleigh |

Oh, no problem. Thanks for the attempt to help!
Not everything I tried to grow this year grew but the ones that did did pretty well by my standard. Those was sweet potatoes leaves.
