| | | which argiope ?
Hi Folks
I've done a Google-search for this spider (I'm guessing size might have been 4 or even 5 cm) and come up with the term `argiope', but none of the images in my search seemed to have the same leg banding.
Could anyone enlighten me as to which this spider might be, please?

Agree with Jason + it's a female.
I think the only other Argiope species in France is the very different looking A. lobata which I've seen in the Camargue. |

Argiope lobata, huh? I've had a look at that one too, now, and will look out for it next time I make it down to the Med. Thank you Aeshna5
