Black and Yellow Garden Spider Egg Sac
Argiope aurantia
39.9081, -85.9228
Field Notes
Description:
Dew was still on the leaves of this boxwood when the Argiope aurantia in my front garden finished creating her egg sac. By afternoon, she was back in her web on the other side of the bush. Despite my great hopes for a garden full of Argiope aurantia, the following year I did not see a single one.
Habitat:
Contiguous United States, Hawaii, south parts of Canada.
Notes:
I also have a photo of this egg sac taken seven months later, and it is withered and no longer so perfectly round as in these photos.
