Description
Description

Few spiders can build an orderly web like the Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia) of the family Araneidae. They are also called Corn Spider or Writing Spider, where males die after copulation and may sometimes be eaten by the female. Females bear the striking appearance of distinct yellow and black patterns on their abdomen. They may also have white cephalothorax. Look for it in open sunny fields and tall vegetation in North and Central America. Apart from creating distinct circular-shaped webs flooded with zigzags of silk, it also eats the web at night and rebuilds it in the morning or at daylight.
