Argiope keyserlingi
These large orb-weavers are common in seasonal rainforests in the Kimberley. They measure about 2 inches in diameter and can build long powerful webs across canyons as pictured above.
Remnant rainforests in the northern Kimberley.
These canyons hold amazing biodiversity, but the webs of these orb weavers make accessing them a challenging task.
