Argiope bruennichi participate in sexual cannibalism. The females of this species, typically much larger than the males, almost always consume their male counterparts after copulation. [9] [7] To combat this, males often wait in or near an immature female's web until she completes her final moult and reaches sexual maturity.
Argiope bruennichi is commonly known as the wasp spider. In Australia, Argiope keyserlingi and Argiope aetherea are known as St Andrew's cross spiders, for their habit of resting in the web with paired legs outstretched in the shape of an X and mirroring the large white web decoration (the cross of St. Andrew [2] having the same form
In the cannibalistic and polyandrous orb-web spider Argiope bruennichi, the much smaller males are attacked during their first copulation and are cannibalized in up to 80% of the cases. [23] All surviving males die after their second copulation, a pattern observed in other Argiope species. Whether a male survives his first copulation depends on ...

Argiope aurantia is a species of spider, commonly known as the yellow garden spider, [2] [3] black and yellow garden spider, [4] golden garden spider, [5] writing spider, zigzag spider, zipper spider, black and yellow argiope, corn spider, Steeler spider, or McKinley spider.

Argiope bruennichi; Metadata. This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.
This process is observed in numerous spider species such as Physocyclus globosus and Argiope bruennichi. [7] [23] For example in the Argiope bruennichi species, males produce energetic courtship displays prior to copulation. Regardless of the displays, females are observed to mate with multiple males.
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Araneus ventricosus was established and published in 2020, from which it was determined that the spider's codon arrangement was almost the same as Argiope bruennichi. This was able to then solidify that the Arachnida class is monophyletic. [2]
