I've tentatively ID'd this on another forum as Achaearanea tepidariorum, but wasn't sure. To my eyes at least, it doesn't match 100% with the A. tepid I've seen in person, or the I've found pics online, but bears a resemblance to L. geometricus ( please look especially at the fourth pic ). The spider's location is Pennsylvania, which is outside of the currently known boundaries of L. geometricus. But then, it is pretty warm there in summer, and not that severe in winter. Widows being hardy, I wondered if they may have spread still further. Anyway, the pictures left me with some doubt, so I hoped you might be able to help me clear this up. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
