Thank you so much, Bendepauw19. I had no idea of what it was.
Great shots! Very cool find.
im sorry but that does not look like a spider from the orb weaver family it looks like sort of argiope the drawing on the abdomen is unique to the argiope kind
Thanks, Madalena. It was an incredible beast, indeed!
what an amazing spider! love it
