Banded Garden Spider
(Argiope Trifasciata) Lemoine Point, Kingston, Ontario
These colourful spiders appear in abundance around the end of August. Once their prey is struggling in the web it is injected with a paralysing poison and in a short time: dinner is served.
"All things are known: the stars’ advice
Calls some content to travel with the winds,
Though what the stars ask as they round
Time upon time the towers of the skies
Is heard but little till the stars go out." Dylan Thomas
