Description

young Argiope spider constructed its web in a potted plant. Its live history was recorded until it fell prey to a Jumping spider 3 weeks later.

In the current observation it has constructed doily at the centre of its web, later various linear stabilimenta are produced.

Note at this date the spider had all 8 legs, it later lost two but regrows them.
