Signature Spider (Argiope Anasuja) - Animal India
A baby signature spider (Argiope anasuja) from the Araneidae family hangs from its web on the window of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 11, 2025. The orb-weaver species, found in tropical and subtropical regions, is known for its ability to capture insects twice its size. Signature spiders typically construct their webs 50 to 200 centimeters above the ground in less shaded areas near water. Their common name refers to the distinctive zig-zag silk patterns, called stabilimentum, woven into their webs. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
