My vision isn't the greatest and I was in a rush, so I grabbed this small black and yellow spider for later inspection in the off chance it was a young Argiope aurantia. Obviously it's not, but it's still quite pretty
@BCspiderman7 While I'm not 100% certain, I do highly suspect it's a female Leucauge venusta. At the very least, it's definitely a Leucauge of some sort. It strongly resembles the venusta though, and that's the only one I can confirm lives in my area
Castianeira longipalpa (Ant Mimic Spider) I went on the spiders.us website and the photo looks close to the spider you found. If not than maybe a close cousin in the same genus.
@BCspiderman7 I appreciate the effort, but it's definitely not an ant mimic. I actually did post a picture of one of those a while back. Out of context, you'd have no way of knowing this, but Castianeira longipalpa don't make webs, but I found this on a web in my front yard.
