Summary[edit]

Description

Argyrodes elevatus on the web of the yellow garden spider, Argiope aurantia, with the host looming in the background. Heritage Island, Anacostia River, Washington, DC, USA. 25 August 2012.

It was a rainy day and not many things were flying between showers, so I thought I'd do a little video of this Argiope sucking on its food. Initially, I didn't even see the little kleptoparasite lurking in the web. When I finally saw it, I knew immediately what it was because I had seen it in a David Attenborough movie. It was great fun to finally see one in real life. From now on, I'll have to stop and closely inspect every one of these webs.
