Argiope savignyi
Argiope spiders are easy to recognize. They sit head down in the center of their webs with their legs paired up. They don’t even bother to hide themselves during the day. They are among a relatively small number of orb weavers that add a decoration to their web, called a stabilimentum. The form of the stabilimentum may change as the spider grows. Young spiders like this one may create a dense circular pattern as shown here. Older spiders are more likely to create sparser designs in various shapes.
These species of spiders stretching from Mexico to Bolivia (in America). Also found in Tropical climates.
I didn't know that these spiders can extend and shrink your Web.
