This Cross spider took advantage of the fact that I couldn’t leave the house for two weeks (Covid kept me in the lookdown), and took possession of my lemon tree. He has built a large spider’s web and is now lurking to catch the poor creatures that come to the balcony from time to time. The females hang head down in the center of the web or remain hidden in nearby foliage, with one claw hooked to a signal line connected to the main orb waiting for a disturbance to signal the arrival of prey.
I share these pictures with Macro Monday Challenge.
That is fascinating. I have never seen or heard of such a spider,
