Spain - Santa Engracia De Jaca
Argiope lobata is a species of orb-weaver spider with a wide distribution encompassing the whole of Africa and stretching to southern Europe and into Asia. Like many other members of the genus Argiope the large web is usually decorated with prominent zig-zag stabilimenta, but not in this case. The male of this species is small (body length 6 mm) but this image shows a female, that is large and spectacular at up to 25 mm in length. Photographed in a field between Santa Engracia De Jaca and Biniés, at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees. © Tom Kisjes
