Araneus montereyensis is a comparatively small species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in North America.[1][2][3][4] A. montereyensis somewhat resembles Araneus bispinosus but its anterior humps are smaller.[5] Most commonly observed in California during the dry season, this spider "has been found in the low branches of trees, shrubs in oak woodlands, chaparral, and in ornamental plantings."[5]
