A different perspective on this shot Nikola, You usually don`t see spider shots against a blue sky background

It really sets off all the features of the spider very nicely.

Not only does the sky set off the features of the spider, it also makes it look more creepy. Arghhhh!

Excellent shot Nikola

Ohh, nice foto of a Argiope lobata - it´s not at spider we have here in Denmark, but another spider from the "family" Argiope bruennichi are i the last 15 year´s become more and more ordinary in Denmark - so maybe in the future !!!

Funny name "Tea cookie" - it´s the first time i hear that - is it the common name og this spider ?

Thanks a lot for ID, Ib!

I thought it was Argiope family but wasn't sure.
I've made that name "Tea cookie".
