My New Pet

Gwen E. Sprague

This is the same spider (Argiope aurantia) I photographed a couple of weeks ago. She's doubled in size and had to move her web a little to get more room in the evergreens. Her colors are changing from the juvenile browns and tans to the adult black and yellow. This web is new enough that she hasn't started to embellish it yet with her normal zig-zag pattern.
