Banded Argiope

Argiope trifasciata

Description:

Also known as Banded Garden Spider or White-backed Garden Spider. 4 action photos. Unsure of size. I thought the grasshopper was a fresh kill, I walked nearby and the hopper was fighting so the spider came down to do some more wrapping. Fascinating! (Sorry, photos r out of order)

Habitat:

Meadow on our property
