Leucauge argyra is a spider found North, Central and South America (from United States to Brazil and the Caribbean.

Colonies of multi-generational individuals are often seen with some levels of size stratification (where larger individuals/adults occupy the highest web positions and smaller individuals/juveniles occupy lower web positions).

[1] It is known for being the host of the Hymenoepimecis argyraphaga, a Costa Rican parasitoid wasp.

[3] Females have an epigyne with a ventral projection that is unique in the genus.

The upper tangle consists of a few threads that cover only a narrow section across the middle of the orb.
