🕷️Argiope aurantia

Argiope aurantia Lucas, 1833

Die Gold-Wespenspinne (Argiope aurantia) ist eine Spinne aus der Familie der Echten Radnetzspinnen (Araneidae). Die Etymologie des Namens bedeutet „vergoldetes Silbergesicht“. Wie die anderen Arten der Gattung Argiope verabreichen Gold-Wespenspinnen ihrer Beute zwar Gift, das wird aber als für Menschen ungefährlich eingestuft.
