ZigZag Zipper OrbWeaver


Not exactly its scientific name,but that zig zag zipper that seems to echo that spider's markings is the way I'll probably know it for what it is the next time I run across it. It's common enough, but I had to go to my favorite bug source to find out its proper name. Habitat? Gardens and old fields, but in this case a garden in an old airfield.

I need some new superlatives.

:) I was so bummed my nephew wasn't around to share the experience of discovering that spider.
