Argiope Orbweaver Spider
I found this lovely spider four days ago. I thought she would die overnight, as she had lost two legs on the right side of her body. She has been our "house guest" four days now! I made a little habitat for her within a small kiwi fruit box that has holes in the lid and the bottom. It is lined with bits of plants from my garden. Now she is on my desk where I can see her move around, spinning silk wherever she moves. I offered her a small house spider, but she didn't seem interested. Tomorrow it will be warn outside, so maybe I'll be able to catch a moth or fly to offer her.
