The Writing Spider
A female black-and-yellow argiope (argiope
aurantia) waits on the edge of a field Thursday in Fairfield, Conn. for prey. Despite her markings
and and a body size well over an inch long, her bite is not dangerous to
humans. Note the zigzag pattern near the center of the web; it's one of
the unique traits of this orb-weaving spider. She's a common sight
throughout the U.S. in early autumn.
