Description
We spent a few hours with this fine example of Argiope. We seen many, but rarely this large and you might have noticed the tilt in the "shell" she's just about ready to shed.

We had these in our yard in Carmel, Maine but I never knew their name. We spent time marveling at them also, but didn't take any pix. Thanks for posting this beautiful shot.

I'm glad you liked it. They are fantastic creatures. That zipper pattern web is so, well, photogenic;-) In this neck of the woods we call em "Garden Spiders" but they go by at least a half dozen other names. Thanks for your comments!
