I took a walk this morning to see what I could see. We had a sprinkle of rain which I figured would be good to get some critters moving. Argiope trifasciata were out in abundance. Most were smallish immature specimens, but I did see a few larger specimens. In the fall I usually found some huge A. trifasciata females in the area. Interestingly, I did not see even one Argiope argentata on this outing. I usually spot at least a couple.
This is an Argiope trifasciata with an unidentified beetle in her web.
Argiope trifasciata male - I found this little male hanging out on a female's web.
I have never found Argiope aurantia in this area, but I know they are here. I have never seen one so skinny. Does this look like A. aurantia? I'm in the San Diego area.
Enjoy!
