Garden Orb-weaver Spider

Eriophora transmarina

Description:

The female is considerably larger than the male, which tends to wait on the edge of the web. An unusual feature of the female is the variation in colour and patterning on the upper surface of its shield-shaped abdomen. Some individuals have a white or reddish longitudinal stripe down the centre of the abdomen.
