Id help needed - Argiope spider. - Argiope trifasciata Irwin Prairie State Nature Preserve., Lucas County, Ohio, USA August 24, 2013
I believe this to be a Banded Argiope ( Argiope trifasciata ). It has a different look from Bandeds I have seen. Is this an immature ? It was cold when this picture was taken - would that influence the color of the spider ? Can this spider be sexed and how is that done ? Thanks in advance for the help.
