Female Argiope bruennichi. (family Araneidae).
We call it here a 'wasp spider'.
I found this spider by accident and shot a lot of pictures because I had never seen it before and really loved it's appearance. At home I had a pretty old spider book which said this spider didn't exist in The Netherlands! I was in total shock!! I had found a rare spider and photographed it! The next day I returned to the same spot hoping I would find it again. I even found two!! I shot as many pictures as I could in even more different positions and angles to make sure I covered everything... Couldn't be more happier!
I even made sure I made clear photo's of it's habitat and the surroundings!
A few days later I learned it is slowly gaining territory here in The Netherlands and the information from my book is 'a bit' outdated.... Great lesson learned....
Still a beautiful spider though...
On this photo she has caught an insect in her web and is wrapping it with thread. You can see a very wide thread coming from her spinners. (Sorry if I have all the scientific names wrong.... Don't know how to explain it in correct English terms...)
I hope you like it! Comments and critiques are very welcome again! And please don't laugh at me...
Voila ik heb dus ook een foto van deze spin
Ik ken het al 2 jaar
En ik keek ook in mijn spinnenboek en daar zeiden ze in dat het enkel voorkomt in velden ten zuiden van Centraal-Frankrijk.
Je moet eens weten hoe ver dat dat is als je weet dat ik op 60 km woon van de Belgisch-Nederlandse grens
Ik verschoot er ook enorm van. Nu moet ik gewoon vanachter in onze tuin door het hoge gras wandelen en ik kom er met hopen van deze spinnen tegen. Zeker een stuk of 20 minstens!

Beautiful spider and beautiful photograph. I do believe "spinners" is a fine term in English, even if it may not be the technical term. I doubt the everyday English speaker knows the technical terms either!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
