• 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
