Nephila pilipes
This spider was black with yellow stripes and almost a foot long with it's legs stretched. The web was at least 8 to 10 ft and stretched from one tree to another.
Forest in Athirapilly. foothills of Anamalai Mountains.
Common sighting.
I'm thinking subspecies Nephila pilipes jalorensis, but I'm not 100%.
