What the hell she drew a man

[razehider]

after some promising male sightings, i finally managed to find my first female Argiope bruennichi in a very long time. her massive web spanned like four different bushes, and i even found the obligatory Argyrodes inquiline on it, although i couldn't get decent photos of her without damaging the home carefully built by her infinitely bigger life partner

a new Argiope species for me, but one that may be familiar to folks in the Americas. the Banded Garden Spider is native to North and South America, but is now also found in parts of Africa, Europe, and Australasia.

kelvester if i was a spider which spiding would i be.

The wondrous Argiope argentata. For her sick as fuck spikes and cool stylized X she writes on her web. I feel like she's working on the spider version of UTPR rn.

Kogane Spider (Argiope amoena)

Argiope florida is a large orbweaver endemic to dry scrubland habitats in Florida and a few other parts of the southeast. Like several other Argiope species, they have silvery coloration that reflects solar radiation and prevents the spider from overheating while sitting exposed in its web.

They were so abundant in this scrubland on the Lake Wales sand ridge in central Florida that it was sometimes hard to move around because their webs blocked every gap in the oak shrubs.
