Argiope bruennichi, or the wasp spider here seen trying to catch grasshoppers.
The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects.
The shot was actualy taken in northern France. |

An exceptionally sharp and crisp image of an Argiope Spider, Chris.
The colours and details on the entire subject are perfect.
If you shot this picture in France, I guess you can change the given information by going into 'Manage' option on your portfolio page. I suggest you do it.
Well done and all the best.
