The St Andrews Cross (Argiope keyserlingi) gets its name from its habit of producing an obvious cross of zigzag web, which this one hasn't woven yet. When resting, the spider places a pair of legs on each arm of the cross. In one season an adult female, which this is, will produce several leaf-like, green egg sacs, and attach them to a wall or tree trunk in close proximity to the web.
