Hey Julio I am in Canada, I lived in the Philippines for 4 months last year and I had the chance to visit many different islands and see all kinds of nature. There is a very big difference between the nature in North America and Asia.

Thanks Julio, touring around Bohol I got to go to a butterfly conservation called Simply Butterfly's, I believe it is in Bilar Bohol. There they had this one hanging over top the path, there was another web over the cafe deck that was twice as big. Sadly they said a bird must have eaten the spider, but I can't even imagine a spider twice as big as this one. It was massive!
