Weekly Photo Challenge: Zigzag
door Noortje Russel
The Wasp spider (wespenspin, wesp spin of tijgerspin) The wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects (Wikipedia)
