Orb Weaver Spider SWAG Central AmericaNephila spiders are especially noted for the impressive webs they weave. This particular specimen is Nephila maculata. The species can be found from Japan down to Australia and west to India. They also show extreme sexual size dimorphism, in which the male is a fraction of the size of the female.
