Argiope aetherea is a large orb-web spider (family Araneidae). Like other species of Argiope, it is commonly known as the St Andrew's Cross spider, due to the characteristic cross-shaped web decorations female spiders often include in their webs. Like most orb-web spiders, this spider shows considerable sexual size dimorphism, with females being many times larger than males. Like almost all other spiders, Argiope are harmless to humans. As is the case with most garden spiders, they eat insects, and they are capable of consuming prey up to twice their size. An Argiope aetherea spider sits in webs waiting to catch prey in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 15/11/2023.
