Moved

Moved from Argiope. Yep, she's a beauty. Sorry it took me so long to respond I must have missed this email earlier in the year.

Thanks so much for your help, Lynette :)

Moved

Moved from ID Request. It's one of the Argiope species. I'd guess Argiope argentata. Do you have a dorsal view?

re: dorsal view

Thank you Lynette. This spider is surrounded by many smaller spiders and webs so I haven't been able to sneak in there & try to get a dorsal view. I will look again today to see if there is a chance to at least take a look. Thanks again for your help.
