Golden Orb
Category: Insects | Date: May 15 2008 | By: tumaren
I ran into this Golden Orb spider in the door of our camel boma last week. Fortunately i ran into a small strand first and was able to stop before putting my face right through her beautiful web. Golden Orb spiders in New Guinea have such strong webs that they are woven and used locals for catching fish.

What a gorgeous spider. A work of art. How big is she?

Geez, i want to say pretty, but spiders creep me out, especially ones that look like they have hooks at the ends of their legs!…and a web that can be used for fishing net…wow! Are Golden Orbs poisonous?
