True love's lair
Arachtober 21st
A big, beautiful female Argiope trifasciata in her web receiving a potential suitor. I wonder if he got lucky?
Focus on the male for this shot. What fascinated me was that the pair seemed completely unperturbed by the strong coastal winds occurring at this location - unlike me who had to deal with it to try and capture any detail.
Sexual dimorphism is distinct in this species. Female 20 mm body length and male 6 mm body length.
