🕷 The Marble Bowl Observation of the Week: the Golden Orb Weaver, Trichonephila clavipes 🕷

This spider can be found from the Southeastern US though South America and pictured is a female. How do you know? The females are MUCH larger than the males and if you see a web, be on the look out for the tiny males that are usually on webs off to the side of the giant females
