I find a ideal Signature Spider picture with signature. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6275463
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the entire web but I'll try to find one this summer. And thank you!
Isabela do you have picture of entire web..? That white signature is also important in opposite rows. This is why so known this as Signature Spider..!!
Thank you for favourites and comments.
Th Argiope genus of spiders usually rest on their webs with their legs together in an "X" shape. Also, they make the little zig-zag below the center of the web.
Estupendo! Muchas gracias!
La araña tigre (Argiope trifasciata) hembra es de un tamaño muy superior al macho. Suele estar colgada boca abajo y es una araña poco, por no decir nada, agresiva. Tiene que verse muy amenazada para picar y en el caso de que lo haga, aunque su picadura es dolorosa, no suele representar ningún problema grave para la salud de las personas.
