Argiope Aurantia Spider
Argiope Aurantia Spider Hiding Between The Leaves
A friend called me over to snap a picture of this spider that he found at his potted plant by the house. It's rather large compared to other species around here.
It was a very difficult shot as it was hiding and the ambient lighting was close to nil. Tried anyway, the spider was upside down, so I rotated the image. Most of the image was not sharp but it could have been worse.
