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days later I learned it is slowly gaining territory here in The Netherlands and the information from my book is 'a bit' outdated....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... |

If you can regularly come up with lunatic interpretations of simple stories, you should major in English. ... You should major in philosophy if you plan to take a lot of drugs. ~Dave Barry

"There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss..."
I'm used to reading stuff like that, but if you already have headaches, it sure is one of the worst things to do!
