Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Argiope aetherea is a common, large orb-web spider (family Araneidae). Like other species of Argiope, it is commonly known as the St Andrew's Cross spider, due to the characteristic cross-shaped web decorations female spiders often include in their webs. A. aetherea is similar in appearance to A. keyserlingi, however female A. aetherea are generally larger than A. keyserlingi.[1] Like most orb-web spiders, A. aetherea shows considerable sexual size dimorphism, with females being many times larger than males.

Distribution

Argiope aetherea is found from China to Australia.[2]

Subspecies

There exists a subspecies from New Guinea:

  • Argiope aetherea annulipes Thorell, 1881
