RE: Small spider in its web formed on my oregano plant. // Pequeña araña en su red formada en mi planta de orégano.[ENG-ESP]

These photos are great! And you've found what's called a Silver Marsh spider or Orchard spider, from the genus Leucauge. They're orb-web spiders and their venom is not medically significant. This one you've found is a male spider, too. He's probably on the look-out for a female nearby. Thank you for sharing your spider with us!

Hey what interesting facts I didn't know, thanks for letting me know!!!!💝 Spectacular...that's why he is alone in that big house, isn't it?
Thanks for reading and I'm glad that these photos have allowed me to know something new for me.
Sometimes I don't publish some insects because I don't know much about them even though I search the internet for some pages.
Since you know about them...you know I read that spiders are not insects but only arachnids, is it true...🤔. I have this doubt...if you know and you can clarify me I would love it because I want to know more about this subject.... Thanks again!🤗

You're welcome!

Yes, spiders are in the class of Arachnida, which is different from insects. Arachnids have 8 legs while insects have 6 legs. A lot of people call them insects but what they mean is that they're arthropods, which is the group of animals that insects and arachnids both belong to.

I'd be more than happy to help out with any spider questions you have. I love spiders and I study them and I think they're amazing animals that I want to share with everyone.

Thanks for clearing up that doubt @anikekirsten. Your explanation is great, now I am sure of what I read. See that at one time I hesitated to post in this community because of this new idea about this species. Thanks for your information...I'll be waiting for any doubt.👍👏👏
