Argiope closeups
Having failed to ID a 22mm Argiope to species because Argiope levii and Argiope flavipalpis can evidently only be distinguished by the shape of the epigynum, I went in search of that spider. Couldn't find it so I caught this 18.5mm specimen and took some closeups of its nether parts, hoping to arrive at a firm ID. Like the other spider, this one was on a smallish orbweb (about 400mm diameter) low over the ground. These argiopes never seem to place thir webs more than about 1m off the ground. Alwyays in a shaded part of woodland or forest.

Some spiders from this genus are also called social spiders as they build web with a whole colony if spiders staying and hunting together. And some are solitary as well.

Our first night down in the LRGV, we decided to explore the property of the AirBNB we stayed at, being tired from the 8 hour drive. I'm so glad we did as I found so my lifers on this property and single night alone! I am very appreciative of the Darling family keeping this piece of land 'wild' and native.
