Here's some photos of Argiopes, mainly from the United States. In Australia, we call our variety St. Andrew's Cross but in the United States they are more commonly called a Black and Yellow Argiope. (Argiope aurantia). We have had so many queries and photos sent in of these from people who have never seen them in their area. It's quite incredible!! They are also known as Golden Garden Spiders or just Garden Spider and their scientific name is Argiope aurantia. The spiders below are a close relation called Banded Argiopes and Argiope bruennichi, which is also found in Europe and the United Kingdom. Please choose a section.

28 March, 2010: Hi Glen, I'm working on Argiope-spiders at the Uni. By chance I came across with your nice website. I have a little note. The fourth entry at the A.lobata page is showing a picture of Argiope sector. This species is quite common in Northern Africa. It is often mixed up with lobata. I send you another picture of sector from my lab for comparisons. Best, André

12 September, 2008: Hi Glen, I saw this spider glowing bright silver in the moonlight whilst on holiday in Kerkenna (An island 20 miles off Tunisia). None of the local people I asked knew the name or anything about it. Please can you tell me more about it. Thanks Ivan
