Wasp spider (Argiope Bruennichi)


This "little" thing is called a wasp spider. (http://www.madeirahelp.com/argiope_bruennichi_spider).

Just as we were leaving Funchal's botanical gardens I noticed this spider hiding in a succulent.
I used only natural light and the background is a bit too bright, but this was the only big spider I saw.
So if you plan to visit Madeira and are scared of creepy crawlies then no need to worry!

But use mosquito repellent as dengue fever is becoming an issue on the island!
