Argiope aurantia Making Stabilimentum (No Edit)

This video of the Black and Yellow Garden Spider/Writing Spider/Banana Spider is making the stabilimentum after discarding the food she was eating the entire night. If you come outside early enough, you may find a bunch of these spiders doing this or even making their webs. They tend to wait until the sun comes up (or close to it at least) before they put these on their webs. This video was not edited, and even though the camera was on a tripod, the spider was bobbing up and down a lot while making it.

This video was filmed in August at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center grounds in Delmar, NY.

Thank you for watching!
