Frassed
Moved from Black & Yellow Argiope.
We have started looking through the seven pages of images of A. aurantia and removing some that are multiples of the same basic image, or that have weak image quality, or that show a view already well represented in the guide, etc. If you feel we have frassed the wrong one of your images, or if you feel it should not be frassed at all and adds something important to the guide, please feel free to TAG the image and move it back.

The
typical pattern is more noticable in this image.
This is the coolest looking black and yellow argiope I have seen.
