hello, i'm new here so please excuse me if i say something unapropriate(advices are welcome :) ).
i foun this beauty in my garden, i almost stepped on it because it's camouflage is perfect. i have never seen anything like it before, it is about 10 cm in size so is somehow big, the rest can be seen from the pictures, i made a lot because i was amazed by how beautiful it is, but it seems i can only post 1 so i chose this one.if needed i can post more . if you can tell what species it is, is it harmfull? i think it was a female because of its size, but im not sure.
thank you!
This is Argiope lobata, a large orb weaving spider (family Araneidae); it is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Region - see http://tinyurl.com/yg5xoac for images. They are harmless to humans.
