Egg sac of a wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi)
Beschrijving
Argiope bruennichi (wasp spider) is distributed throughout Europe, north Africa, parts of Asia, the Azores archipelago, as well as North American states.
The spider species has a rather large distinction between males and females with males averaging length of approximately 4.5 mm and females averaging 15 mm.
The female spider shows striking yellow and black markings on its abdomen. This spider is not poisonous for us. The spider prefers to weave her web between grass at a height of 20 -30 cm.
When the spider catches her prey she wraps it very fast in silk. After a lethal bite with venom and protein dissolving enzymes she waits until the prey does not struggle anymore and sucks it empty or hangs the packet in her web to consume it later.
