I’m not a big fan of spiders; they make my skin crawl and my back muscles tighten. That having been said, I admire their handy work. We have a beautiful green spider who’s made a home at the edge of our house where the wrought iron fence butts up at the back door.
The wind was whipping through the breezeway this afternoon and the spider’s web moving caught my eye, his being centered and holding his own. There are some bright orange markings which stand out against his green body. If you know what kind of spider this one is please leave a comment.

I thought the ones with bright colors are deadly.
If you see one with a red back or something similar, throw a grenade at it, it's deadly.
I was trying to figure out this spider too. I live in south Georgia and I like to have the spider webs to collect mosquitos but I want to know the spiders that surround us. I have two small children and I need to know which spiders to thank and which ones to get rid of.
Alley Lou 82, Somebody told me what kind of spider this was on Facebook; but I've long since forgotten exactly what its name was, some kind of common orchard weaver which is not supposed to be poisonous. There is a "website" (no pun intended) which shows pictures of various spiders, a library which can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection; you might try that.
incase any of yall where still wondering it is a Florida orchid spider leucauge venasta. it is harmless it eats insects,
Thank you Joy Moser for the information.
I found your posts here while searching for a spider I just saw by our outdoor backdoor light. Looks the same, but not quite as geen. I googled Orchard Spider, and voila. That's it.
The construction of the third Christiansborg began in the fall of 1906, some 20 years after the second was burned. It was built on the same foundation - and partly with the same outer walls - as the previous two castles.chain link
This is the Venusta Orchard Spider I believe (I research spiders a lot), and it is venomous.
This is an Orchard Spider, Leucauge venusta. All spiders have venom, but very few are actually harmful to people, either because they won’t bite, rarely bite, or if they do bite it causes no serious harm. The Orchard Spider is not considered a dangerous species.
