Silver Argiope

Argiope argentata

Habitat:

fields, open woods, gardens

Notes:

Here are a couple of dorsal and ventral shots of this orb weaver spider. The last two with its prey. When I first approached with the camera it ran up to the top edge of the web, but soon came back towards the center to its lunch.
