Argiope chloreides
female - a relatively tiny species (svl 3mm)... will spin web under leaves of trees with a web decoration... the stabilimentum (plural: stabilimenta) in the centre.! its function is a subject of much debate... but lets not get into that and just enjoy looking at all the tiny beauties of nature as they come.!
Araneae; Araneidae; Argiopinae

thanks to PNRs for the SOTW nomination.!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
