Argiope trifasciata
Hey Bugman,
I noticed the bug of the month and thought you might enjoy this image of what I believe is Argiope trifasciata. This picture was taken early August in a salt marsh in Georgia.

Hi Anthony,
This is not Argiope trifasciata, the Banded Argiope, but Argiope florida, the Silver Backed Argiope. It represents a new species for our site, so if you identified it on our site, please let us know on what spider page and we will make a correction on the previously misidentified specimen.
