wow, that really is big! :)) Little superstar, all attention to it :D :)) But it surely deserves it :)
Jopy
This is only color variation, same as A. diadematus, it's very common here, this one is bigger than last one..with legs is about 8 cm in length, kids measure it ;)

I'm sure they were very, very excited, I would be, too! :))) this "something" has a bit different colouration than the first, do you happen to know why?! :) is it just a variation (like with the European garden spider that can be in different colours) or differences are due to smth else?
Jopy
haha you should see my kids how excited they were...they said: teacher, there is "something" on the fence, youhave to see it, something strange :)
