A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Nephila pilipes
The abdomen is mostly black, but has bright yellow spots and on the top has 2 bright yellow stripes. Legs are mostly light brown with black patches.
This one was found in the city.
Thanks for the ID. I notice that this one has almost brown legs not black like the photos, but I'm guessing they vary? I have another photo of one with black legs that does look just like the photos of the Golden Orb Spider.
