Argiope versicolor
Another Argiope spider spotting. This female is about 11mm. No zigzag X-shaped bands on it's web yet. Reddish brown head and legs with white hairs. Abdomen : bands of yellow, white, dark red, black. Looks like a face of a man with sunglasses. Easily mistaken with Argiope pulchella by it's appearance.
Between plant stems along Poring Hot Springs's walkway, Ranau, Sabah, Malaysia.
Argiope versicolor is quite common in Ranau Hotsprings but so far I still could not get a single clear photograph of it. >>>Map accuracy : 3km radius.
