Argiope (?) specie ...very common orb on the islands.
I found some with 5 or 6 adult orbs stacked parallel! ...all sitting in their webs like reflections of each other.
Got males too, but they died before I got a chance to get photos.
They are hangin round my room at the moment ...tough to feed because their webs seem specialized for ...I believe...large moths, dragon flys, etc. Nothing else "wants" to stay in the webbing long enough for the spiders to settle down and investigate. Got one to feed by tying a string to a roach's leg and hanging it in the web... eventually she found the food and thankfully ate it. _________________
