Argiope Spider

Argiope sp.

Description:

When I woke up in the morning this spider had made it's web across my window during the night. Photos 1 to 3 are taken from outside, Photo 4 taken from inside as she was wrapping up her catch, and photos 5 & 6 were taken later that same day.

Habitat:

The hose was in a mountainous rainforest area between San Isidro de la General and Dominical in Costa Rica.

How amazing! We have one outside our kitchen window and were commenting on it just this morning, wondering what it was!

Argiope sp., but I cannot tell you if it is Argiope argentata or Argiope savignyi.

I slightly would tend to Argiope argentata, but I am not 100% sure.
