Breakfast at sunrise
A Yellow Banded garden Spider. Argiope trifasciata
It was very hard for me to confirm what this is, so please let me know.
Sex - Female
Size - huge, a good 3 inches for the body, not including the legs.
Action - Wrapping up breakfast, at sun rise (a beetle)
Poison - Reletively harmless to humans, great bug controle
Scaryness - Huge!
A couple of days ago I was walking through the field that is behind my house to go to the edge of the mesa. Right in the middle of our path (highly overgrown), was this huge spider. It has a little yellowish tint to the bottom part of its front side with the rest of the front being white, and a dull grey back of the head. The next day I woke up early, to try nd get a shot of it. I cleared some of the path and layed down in the sand. She was pretty close to the ground. It was fascinating watching her catch, and spinn her web around her prey. I have never seen a spider do that before, nevermind at macro closenes through a cemera. The web would fan for a quick capture and then shrink down to a thick thread for a secure tie. She actually ate it immidietly which i didnt expect. But I will spare you those gruesom pics.
Behind her to the left, might possibly be an egg sack.
I do not meen to be posting gross things, it is just the pictures i have had the oppertunity to come across...
Taken with a Nikon d750, and nikon 18-55mm, Ring flash (only for some shots), and a 36mm macro tube
