Yellow Garden Spider Fight Scene

in WORLD OF XPILAR4 years ago
When I was about to leave the hunting spot, I noticed a yellow spider garden was capturing and fighting with green grasshopper that I did not how it got stuck in the spider web. Yellow garden spiders (Argiope aurantia) frequently build their webs in open sunny field that can protect them from the wind. This spider can be found along the edge of swamp, reservoir and the eave house where they can safely strecth the web and occupying the center of the web waiting for prey to be trapped in it. The spider will normally leaves the web in one location for they move to another location in early season, which probably wish to find better protection or hunting. When this spider was busy with its prey, and I believe it did not notice me, I managed to take a few shots from distance range with various angles.
