Wasp spider ~ Wesp- of Tijgerspin (Argiope bruennichi)..
The common name of this beautiful spider is Wasp spider. This spider is, like all orb-weavers, not poisonous for us.
The spider prefers to weave her web between grass at a height of 20 -30 cm
The adult female has a shining silvery cephalothorax (head) and a yellowish abdomen with black and white bars across it.
The adult female is much larger than the male. The male measures between 4 and 6 mm while the female has a full grown size between 14 - 17 mm.
Argiopes can be easily identified by the zigzag of white silk in their webs. Like all orb-weavers, they have ringed legs.
The function of the zigzag of white silk in their web is not clear. There are several ideas what the purpose may be.
It may be used to attract insects because it is radiating UV-light and that attract insects. Another explanation is that it is to frighten predators. The spider shakes the web vigorously when something large is approaching and that result in a blurry white spot.
Another explanation can be that the spider makes the web clear to see and that should avoid large animals to destroy the web.
In July the males mate with the females and often loose their life or some legs after their 'duty'.
The female makes a brown cocoon one month after mating and the young spiders hatch the next year in spring. The female dies in the winter.

Chris10 club has replied to Rudy BernardusHet zijn inderdaad erg lastige spinnen om op de foto te zetten. Maar als de vegetatie ietsje hoger is, gaan de sprinkhanen ook iets hoger zitten en passen de spinnen hun web daar bij aan... Gelukje voor mij?
Groet, Christien.
