I took this while walking across a glass encased bridge. The spider was on the outside - if you look closely you can see the backwards "Canon" reflected in the window.
Two weeks ago, Dec 1st(ish), I was walking along the same bridge and the spider was still there but he'd wrapped up a little treat, unfortunately I didn't have my camera to capture it.

This is my first picture of this species.....if I have seen it before I didn't make an identification. Small and living under turned leaves.
I found this guy amongst the bamboo while at the Houston Zoo.
The scientific name is Nephila clavipes; it's one of the largest orbweavers.
This spider made an enormous web in front of my neighbor's pathway to his front door in a matter of hours. I took his dogs outside and then went home. A few hours later, this spider was posted up with it's beautiful web.

This little spider (Orchard Orbweaver, Leucauge venusta) was waiting for me near a boardwalk through the Everglades.
In the summer of 2017, this tiny orbweaver took up residence on my back porch, feeding on the bounty of small insects drawn to my porch light. I even got to watch her molt once! Somerville, MA, June 30, 2017.
Uloborus glomosus. Spiders in this family use finely meshed silk rather than sticky silk. They also lack venom glands.
The genus of Nephila includes several species of this golden silk weaving spider. They are particularly neutral with humans and, like all other spiders, can bite if threatened enough.
As scary as it looks, this spider is not known to be harmful to humans. Female grows large spines, male grows humps.
