Argiope bruennichi
I saw you already have one Argiope bruennichi onsite, but this one was beauty. It took up residence in our garden last summer (Slovenia), stopping harvest for a while, then got bored and moved over the the side of the house where I got the underside shot. It was easily 3 times larger than any other spider I have ever seen.

Hi James,
Thanks for contributing another photo of this European Orbweaver, Argiope bruennichi, to our site. We have 10 archived spider pages and this will improve our readership’s chances of identification should they happen to encounter this large harmless species.
