St Andrews Cross Spider
Argiope keyserlingi
-17.2968, 145.454
Field Notes
Description:
Medium size spider with bold yellow stripes. Common along the Australian East Coast. Usually creates a big X on the web, which is where it gets its name from.
Habitat:
Often found at head height (so I found) between trees or man-made structures.
Notes:
According to the books, the species around Cairns should be Argiope aetherea, but this looks much more like A. keyserlingi
