Nephila clavipes, golden silk spiders, can be found in the southeast United States through Argentina and Peru.
Golden web spiders are found in areas of high humidity and relatively open space. They live in forest areas along trails and clearing edges.
Females are significantly larger than males ranging from 5 to 6 times the size of the male. Generally, females are 3 inches long. Newly hatched golden silk spiders weigh 0.07g and adult females weigh 4g.

Hi Sky,

Hi Sky, great close-up. Good colour, detail and exposure. TFS.

Hallo Sky,
vorweg: ich mag Spinnen! Meine Tochter auch! Mein Sohnemann gerät bei Spinnen in Panik.
Dein Spinnenfoto im Gegenlicht ist sehr gut. Vielleicht könntes es noch einen Tick schärfer sein. Auf jeden Fall tolle Farben und schöne Lichtreflexe. Noch was: ich hatte mir gestern im Supermarkt frische Weintrauben aus Costa Rica gekauft: große Trauben, knackig fest und unheímlich lecker süß - kann ich nur empfehlen.
Danke für das schöne Foto. Ich wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Tag.
Gruß
Heinz
