Orb spider

Nephila pilipes

Description:

Fairly common overhead on forest footpaths. Sometimes in your face!

Notes:

http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/105... http://www.flickr.com/photos/51521377@N0... The two species N. maculata and N. pilipes are similae and may be confused with each other. I am certainly confused.
