I am tentatively identifying this as a male Argiope aurantia.

Nice shot! Reminds me of Argiope bruennichi...

Thank you very much, Reginhart. There are approximately 88 species of Argiope. A. bruennichi is found in Europe and Asia, but not in North America. I am tentatively identifying this one as A. aurantia.

Unten rechts im Bild sieht man wohl, dass die Spinne das Netz repariert hat. Spinnen sind interessante Tiere; neulich sah ich in einer Doku, dass manche Spinnen Fallen bauen, in das Insekten reinfallen.

Danke schön, Ingrid. Ja, ich denke, das Hauptziel vieler Spinnen ist es, Insekten zu fangen.

Thank you, Dörthe. I am pretty sure it is an Argiope, but I'm not sure what species.
