Weaver

Steve Paxton has just reminded me of this picture (which I took some time ago in my garden) after posting one of HIS Golden Orb Weaver spider.

As he pointed out, the female can be quite large, a body size of perhaps 1.5 or 2 inches (4 to 5 cm), though the stretch from the tip of the front legs to the tip of the back legs is MUCH larger. The PiP may give an idea of scale. (PiP is same species but different individual.) I think the small spider is the male. The thing above her is her cache of food.

Biggen it up to be really scared! (Press Z)

Now that a spider i would say about the same size, better cast of light to see the colours.

Fantastic capture! I have seen several of those during my trips to Australia and I am very happy that we don't have spiders of that size in Germany, although I find the Australian Huntsman spiders even more terrifying ;-)
