Hello- Do you know what kind of spider this is? I helped someone install a native plant garden that I had picked up in Ann Arbor, Michigan so the spider likely hitched a ride on the plants. I did have the plants at my house in Hudsonville for about 2 months before I transplanted them in their new home. I've never seen a spider like this before.
Thank you!

This is a nursery web spider. They are one of our excellent predators and do not build webs.
