Spider - Argiope trifasciata - Female
Springfield, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
September 9, 2007
Size: Body 3/4"
I found this lady with a meal hidden down in some ornamental grass that I was trimming. She scared me and I scared her, so she ran up higher on the web and away from the food and I got a picture of the abdomen, too.
