The Cross Spider or Garden Spider is a very common and well-known orb-weaver spider in Western Europe. Individual spiders can range from light yellow, to orange-brown or dark grey, but all European garden spiders have mottled markings across the back with five or more large white dots forming a cross. Usually, the cross-like markings are quite visible. The webs are built by the large females. At the tip of the abdomen there are three pairs of spinnerets, which secrete silk used to create the web. This spider silk, also known as gossamer, is a protein fiber spun by spiders. They use their silk to make webs, wrap prey or quickly escape predators using the silk like a climbing rope. The females usually face head down on the web, waiting for prey to fly by and get entangled in the sticky web. The prey is quickly captured by the female and wrapped with silk prior to being eaten
A found cabinet card by Nix of Piedmont, Missouri. No other info on card.
Piedmont is a city located in northwestern Wayne County in Southeast Missouri, United States. The population was 1,977 at the 2010 census. A part of the Ozark Foothills Region, Piedmont is located at the convergence of State Highways 34 and 49. Piedmont, transliterated as "foot of the mountain," is named for its geographic placement at the foot of Clark Mountain, a 1424-foot summit approximately two miles north of the town. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedmont,_Missouri
