Orb weaver

An orb-weaving species, wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) spins large, beautiful webs that require an hour to create. The thick, zigzagging line in the middle of the web may serve to entrance and attract its prey. As its name suggests, it is capable of wrapping, biting, and injecting various species of wasp. Females consume the smaller males after copulation.
