Signature Spider (Argiope Anasuja) - Animal India
A Signature Spider (Argiope anasuja), a species of orb-weaver spider from the family Araneidae, is seen at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 13, 2024, having caught and wrapped a beetle in its web. Found in tropical and subtropical regions, Signature Spiders are known for capturing insects up to twice their size. They typically build their webs in less shady areas near water bodies, between 50 to 200 cm above ground. The spider's name comes from the unique zig-zag stripes, known as the stabilimentum, which are characteristic of its web. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
