The golden orb-weaver spider Nephila inaurata lies in wait on a web more than three feet (a meter) wide on the Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues in an undated picture. A related, newfound species, Nephila komaci, is now the largest web-spinning spider known to science, researchers said in October 2009.Photograph by M. Kuntner

ANyone who’s interested enough in this thread to look at it, might also, be interested in seeing one of the best films of the last decade, David Cronenberg’s SPIDER, with Ralph Fiennes. SEE IT!

I dunno...after too much Jägermeister and beer celebrating the end of a two week wilderness camping trip sans female companionship she might have some appeal.

Oh the splendid creations of he almighty...
Nothing could have evolved to something as perfect as the third picture.
Only a creator ( with a great sense of humor) could have done that.

Hey!
I think we have that same spider in eastern NC! Shudder. I was out chasing guinea hens with a flashlight—don’t ask—and almost ran into the web. The spider was as big as my hand, the color of a spotted crab, and the web was tent sized. More shudders.
The guineas are on their own from now on.
