Hello Irini, and welcome to the project Noah...There are several Greek missions in Project Noah, and there is a Greek Spider mission too, where you can add this wonderful argiope spider. Thank you in advance
Αγαπητή Ειρήνη, καλωσήλθες στο Πρόγραμμα Noah. Έχουμε ανοίξει αρκετές Ελληνικές αποστολές, και υπάρχει και μια αποστολή για τις Ελληνικές αράχνες, στην οποία θα μπορούσες να προσθέσεις την όμορφη αργιόπη σου. Σ' ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων :)
