Field Notes

Description:

This Argiope luzona is a male. The web decoration which he has created is known as a "Stabilimentum". This particular type is called a "Discoid Stabilimentum".

Habitat:

This Argiope luzona was spotted on a Blushing Philodendron climbing plant (Philodendron erubescens) growing on the trunk of a mango tree.

Notes:

The nomenclature which I am using, for the various Stabilimenta shown in this series of spottings, comes from a scientific paper written by a leading group of Philippine academics. https://www.researchgate.net/publication......
