Giant Wood Spider

Nephila pilipes

Description:

A 3 cm length black-ish spider with orange spots at the ends and joints of its legs, and many tiny dots of both orange and yellow color along the dark stomach.

Habitat:

This spider was seen in the jungles of the high hills in northern Thailand.

Notes:

It was pretty hard to get pictures of this spider from a distance, let alone spot it at all. However, it would have probably been easy enough to walk into had the web been across the path - and freaky.
