I was checking on the Argiope female in my backyard, and discovered that she has a little friend, in a web about 10cm away.
It’s true that the female of the species dwarfs the little males, but look at the gigantic, pendulous palps hanging off the boy. He’s all male.
He is what the female calls lunch isn’t he?
He must be a Pete Hegseth admirer. (Do spiders have testosterone?)
Good luck little guy.
