[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Argiope fasciata. Vista de las dos caras de su cuerpo.
Se instala en arbustos aunque se adapta a bastantes medios. En mi zona es común verla instalada en las zarzas (Rubus ulmifolius) como en esta fotografía.
Se encuentra en toda Europa excepto en el Norte de Suecia y Noruega. Típica coloración del abdomen a base de bandas negras y amarillas. Tiene el cefalotorax velloso y las patas negras variando el color en las articulaciones. Hasta 20 mm el cuerpo, siendo los machos mucho más pequeños, unas tres veces.
Depredadora de casi cualquier tipo de insecto. Está al acecho en el centro de la tela para inocular una neurotoxina a la presa que caiga en sus "dominios". Si se le altera es agresiva con las personas.. Construye un refugio para descansar en un extremo de la tela. Se reproduce en verano y una vez fertilizada suele devorar al macho. Después construye varios ovisacos donde pone unos 300 huevos en cada uno.
