 | Recorded by: Michael P. Morales Cumberland Co. Comment: Possible first record for Cumberland County, North Carolina. Female. She was the only one we found in a swampy flood plain next to our creek in the park. Her web was about 6 feet above the ground between two tree trunks. We never found a male and haven't recorded the species in our area since. A scientist who studies the range expansion of this species was contacted about this particular specimen. |  | Recorded by: Michael P. Morales Cumberland Co.
