SpidersHelp?
Hi There, I was wading through a bush at a hotel in Spain (trying to find a ping pong ball infact) and came across this angry looking Spider, almost destroying its web! I have attached a couple of pictures of the spider that i saw, any ideas of what it might be? Thanks

Hi Steve,
This Orb Weaver is Argiope bruennichi, commonly called the Wasp Spider. Spiders in this genus are also sometimes called Writing Spiders because of the zigzag stabilimentum in the web. We found a website with additional information on this lovely European species.
