在陆地上, 粗略估计

它吃什么？

It mainly catches insects in its web. Small prey are caught and removed directly, while larger prey are injected with venom and left to wait. Surplus prey is wrapped in silk and stored in the hub of the web for times of food shortage.1

怎样认出它

Adult females are very large, with a body length of 25 to 50 mm.1
The abdomen is mostly dark yellow-brown with yellow stripes.1
The legs are long and black and yellow.1
Females have a horn-like bulge on the back of the body (tergum).1
Males are tiny, measuring about 4 to 6 mm, with light brown legs.1

常被误认为： Trichonephila clavata has no horn-like bulge on its back, which the giant golden orb-weaver does have. Nephila laurinae lacks the pair of yellow stripes at the back of the abdomen that this species has.1

清洗咬伤处，用冰袋冷敷止痛。如果疼得厉害、疼痛扩散或感到不适，就去看医生。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它咬了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

Its silk is more robust than most human-made materials, which has drawn attention from materials scientists.1

Males can be 4 to 10 times smaller than the females, one of the biggest size differences among land animals.1

Adult females keep growing by moulting after they mature, which most spiders do not do.1

Females do not shed their genitals when they moult, so they can keep collecting sperm.1

When temperatures rise above 40 °C, it will abandon its web.1
