The golden silk orb-weaver is a large spider with silk that shines golden in sunlight. It lives in forests and wooded areas from the southern United States to Argentina. It is special because its silk is studied by scientists, and because it is one of the largest non-tarantula spiders in North America.1

Cara mengenalinya

Females have a silvery white front body (cephalothorax) and a longer orange-brown abdomen with two rows of small white-yellow spots.1
Females have dark yellow and brown banding on their legs, with black brush-like tufts of hair near the joints of the first, second and fourth leg pairs.1
Females are about 24 to 40 mm long when fully grown.1
Males are much smaller, about 6 mm long, with a plain dark brown body and legs.1
The large webs are circular and vertical, and the yellow pigment in the silk gives them a golden glow in good light.1

Sering tertukar dengan: Trichonephila plumipes also has stiff hairs on its legs. In that species the hairs are set more closely together than in the golden silk orb-weaver.1
