Argiope (spider)
The genus ''Argiope'' includes rather large and spectacular spiders that often have a strikingly coloured abdomen. These spiders are distributed throughout the world. Most countries in tropical or temperate climates host one or more species that are similar in appearance. The etymology of the name is from a Greek name meaning "silver-faced."
==Common names==
In North America, ''Argiope aurantia'' is commonly known as the black and yellow garden spider, zipper spider, corn spider, and writing spider, because of the similarity of the web stabilimenta to writing.
In England, ''Argiope bruennichi'', where it is found only on the southern coast, and in other parts of Europe, including Germany, is also known as the wasp spider. In Australia, ''Argiope keyserlingi'' and ''A. aetherea'' are known as St. Andrew's Cross spiders, for their habit of resting in the web with legs outstretched in the shape of an X, the cross of St. Andrew. The large white zigzag in the centre of its web is called the ''stabilimentum'' or web decoration.
The East Asian species ''Argiope amoena'' is known in Japan as ''kogane-gumo''. In the Philippines, they are known as ''gagambang ekis'' ("X spider", again due to the stabilementa), and ''gagambang pari'' ("priest spider", due to the spider's body resembling a priest's head with a mitre).
