Comments & ID Thoughts
I found this girl on my mother's garden, I know it is an orb-weaver, but I can't figure out it's genus, I'm guessing maybe a juvenile (because she had a little sibling in another web 30cm away) Cross orb-weaver. She was so small I could barely take a picture, smaller then common jumpers. My mother told me she used to see an adult orb-weaver in the same spot, I think the adult layed her eggsack and went off or died later. Unfortunately, i don't have any pictures of the past one and was never able to see it since i live 280km from my mom's.

I’d be interested to see any later pictures of this spider if you got more once it grew up. I wonder if it might be Argiope submaronica.
