Golden Orb Spider

AugustGray's suggestion is also incorrect in my opinion.

I think this is nephila pilipes, with the two distinctive stripes down the abdomen back.

Antipodia has reddish brown legs and no yellow spot behind the knee joints. Also, six pairs of spots on the top of its abdomen.

check it out.

Thanks for posting, I think this is the same spider I spotted in Sabah, Malaysia. Awesome now I have an id!

Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...

thx patty.. thx for your id suggestion and description..

Nice spotting and picture Nasru, I think it may be a nephila antipodiana regarding your location. We don´t have those here but we do have spiders that belong to the nephila family,t hey are called golden orb spiders because of the yellow webs that they make. Greetings
