This observation field is to for helping to identify Leucauge observations that have the orange posterior dorsal spots (I'm also going by the more robust ventral markings that appear to come with the orange spots) so that we can have a map on here similar to what @thebals are doing on BugGuide. You can view the observation field map here.
Anyone is welcome to help add the field to the appropriate observations if they can! I have not done too many so far, and I may have made some errors due to not being able to tell much of a difference between the yellows/oranges/greens sometimes, so please update ones that are incorrect (and let me know which was incorrect). In some cases, I put the value of "review needed", so feel free to take a look and update those ones if you can. I haven't done much of this yet, but adding the value of "no" is also useful info, especially in areas where L. argyrobapta or overlap is likely.
