Comments & ID Thoughts
I'm curious if anyone know what species of spider this is? Is it a Silver Marsh spider? I took this photo in Puerto Rico.

Maybe Leucauge levanderi? https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/526352-Leucauge-levanderi/browse_photos I don’t know the common name for that spider of Puerto Rico. It has some red coloring. I really like the pattern and colors of this one.
I think Inaturalist is a better resource and mor up to date than Bugguide,
So I will agree with your findings
