My shocking discovery: 😮 Argiope flavipalpis



‎---

‎Hi friends, today I write about my recent discovery at the bush.
‎Initially, I saw a whitish X-like mark in space. I didn’t see the spider 🕸️ at first, just the blurry little shape.

I focused my eyes, and there it was—a spider. I brought out my camera to capture the upper view, and it was pretty amazing.

Only if you’ve come in contact with this peculiar type of spider would you know what I’m talking about.

‎As we all know, spiders are divided into the head (cephalothorax) and abdomen. The abdomen looks green with some streaks of white on the superior view. On the inferior side, it has an orange-like appearance.


Studies show that the X mark or appearance is for self defense or to attract it's prey.

This is really unique and beautiful.

This is a screenshot of the scientific classification below 👇 👇 👇.

‎I hope you all love it.
