Silver Argiope

Argiope argentata

Description:

I was following this butterfly in order to take a photo, when I thought it stopped on a twig, so I took a photo. When I put on my glasses and looked at the photo, I saw that it had flown into a web and been grabbed by this spider.

Habitat:

Dry wild path leading down to a waterfall.

I really messed up putting this one in categories, didn't I? Sorry bayucca, I forgot I can't remove it using Chrome... did it in Safari, should be OK now.
