Basilica Spider, Mecynogea lemniscataClick on any photo to see a larger version
These tiny spiders build dome shaped webs and are easily identified by that web. I found a colony of 7 or 8 dome shaped webs it the upper branches of several Sassafras trees about 6 foot tall. One of the webs had 2 spiders in it, presumably the male was with the female.
