Golden Silk Orb-Weaver

Nephila pilipes

Description:

If only I had a good photo of the big guy in the middle of this HUGE web! it was approx 3 meters across, maybe more, I couldn't even fit all of it in the photo! I call it the mosquito net, because it was as big as one. -Taken in the Wehea Protected Forest of East Kalimantan, Indonesia (island of Borneo)

Notes:

-The bottom of the web was about 2 meters off of the forest floor, and so gigantic.. I had never seen anything like it before

Clear enough to show that it is a Nephila pilipes or a close species.
