Question by ashley: What kind of spider is orange with black and white striped legs and a pea green butt?
This spider is living on the outside of my third floor window and terrifying me. He is bigger than a quarter when his legs are relaxed but when you move his web he pulls them in. I live in the midwest. I’m getting spider spray, but I want to know if he might have family!

I live in Illinois too. God that scares me!
I’m quoting a website so don’t give too much credit…
It’s a Marbled Orb Weaver. The unique ‘marbling’ pattern of colors on the abdomen, the orange head and black and white legs make this spider visually stunning.
Like other orb weavers, this spider creates circular webs daily. This species prefers moist locations near water sources.
Females are twice the size of males and generally stay hidden at the web’s perimeter in a mess of leaves.
Adults are very active during the summer and autumn months.
They are practically in every state and are found to be NOT poisonous and rarely bite at all. Although they are wild and dangerous looking they are one of the nicer house-spiders.
did that help?
