Description
Some will really creep out when they see this species.
But I was very happy to find my very first wasp spider after one year of search. It has reached Odenkirchen.
THE PRINT IS AS A MATTER OF COURSE WATERMARK-FREE!
Argiope bruennichi, or the wasp spider, is a species of orb-web spider distributed throughout central Europe, Northern Europe, north Africa and parts of Asia. Like many other members of the genus Argiope, (including St Andrew's Cross spiders), it shows striking yellow and black markings on its abdomen.
The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects.
The spider paralyses its prey, mostly grasshoppers, flies and bees, by injecting it with venom.

I don't know whether to find it cute or want to throw my computer against a wall and scream. ;[]; I adore spiders and find them adorable, but I'M ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF WASPS.
