Hi all,

I have taken a pic of a nephila recently. The respective zoo had declared it as "nephila sp - giant silk spider" which is a bit unsatisfactory. does anybody know which species this is ?

regards,
Gabriela

Without seeing the top side, it's hard to tell but this is as close as I can come. The Golden Silk Orb Weaver seems to be quite variable.
