Read up! - Joro and its relative in USA

Well this sure looks like one of them to me, & if it is, I've got news for them...they've moved pretty far north, because my Mom found this one in her garden, & sent me these pics. She lives in a suburb of Buffalo, NY... View attachment 484676 View attachment 484677 View attachment 484678

...if this isn't one, I'm assuming it's a relative...yes?

I think that’s an Argiope . I used to catch them here but now I can’t they don’t live in the city .

Based on images that’s not it.

Google you’ll see the difference

This is an Argiope trifasciata.

Just found my first one in North Carolina yesterday! They’ve been spotted a couple of times around here (about 5 times) but I’ve never found one even when going to those places to look. This one was found near others but a different nature preserve. Really cool!!

Still haven't found one yet! Only time I saw one in nature was when I went to Japan.
