A few days ago I went to the old house to get something, drop off boxes, or whatever. I saw two big Argiopae aurantiae in their big webs and took pictures of the one next to the door. Then I opened the door, disconnecting one side of the web. In the bottom of the web I saw a well-wrapped shield bug, which has to be Halyomorpha halys as that’s the only shield bug around here, while the spider was eating something else. The bug is edge-on in the photo and the markings around the edge of the abdomen are hidden by the wrapping, so I didn’t make an observation of the bug, but I know that’s what it was.
So now I know that Argiope aurantia eats Halyomorpha halys, and we don’t need the jorō to eat it, though if jorō like eating them they’d help. What observation field can I add so that people can search for what eats marmorated bugs, if I didn’t make an observation of the bug?
ETA: As of half a day ago, when I went back to get all the rest of my stuff out of the house, both spiders were still there, but I didn’t see the bug in the web or on the stoop below.
