#Arachtober 9: a very cool orbweaver, _Gea heptagon_! Named because of its seven-pointed abdomen. So far I have only found them low among the grass in a particular marshy meadow. The juveniles have similar circular web decorations as young _Argiope_.

A G. heptagon web with no spider in it. The middle has a jagged zigzag line of silk in a spiral around the centre.
An orbweaver in its web amid green grass. It has a striking abdomen with seven white points around the edges, a velvety brown-black triangular patch, and intricate lighter brown patterns.
