Index of Subjects <html> <body> <font size=3>I am not an expert on spiders but in my experience, the populations of both Argiopes are cyclic. Two years ago most every field one would visit would have at least A. aurantia, the commoner of the two species here. This summer I did not find any. Because of their size & bright colours, they are difficult to miss!!<br> Angus<br><br> At 12:53 PM 10/4/2011, Jim Wolford wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi, Tom. Both Argiope aurantia (black and yellow) and Argiope trifasciata (banded argiope) are fairly common here in The Valley, and I would say especially in areas of blackberries and raspberries, and in other similar cover in shrubby meadows.

My Daughter from Lr Sackville has one in her yard and is very excited. She totaly loves almost anytinng the crawls or slides along and eagerly investagates and studies them. She too has never encountered one of this species before. I see that we're at the northern reaches of it's range, but how common are they arround here?<br> </font> <br> <font size=2>Tom K.<br> Canso<br> </font><font size=3> </blockquote></font></blockquote></body> </html>
