Orb-Weaver Spider in California Buckwheat
This is tiny Orb-Weaver Spider (Araneus, Araneidae) spider in California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum, Polygonaceae) in the woods today. I believe this one is either Araneus bispinosus or Araneus montereyensis, see Alice Abelia's comment on this photo. It is a male spider with large palps. (San Marcos Pass, 29 January 2022)
