I captured this guy the other morning at work and ned identification. I was told it was a golden orb by a coworker but the more I look I think it may not be. Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Joe,

    Wonderful capture. I'm sorry, I don't know what spider it is, I've never seen one here. I can however confirm your suspicions that this is NOT a Golden Ord spider. Here is one that lives in our backyard (with about 20 others) that I took a couple of months ago.

    Is there any way to post a tighter crop? It looks like a pretty cool spider but I can't really make out the details except for those fine hairs on it.
