Yes, Trichonephilia clavipes. The golden silk is visible in the photo above her. rllawrencejr, Yes this is an impressively large spider. I didn’t quite comprehend it until I almost walked face-first into one. It moved in a slow mechanical way that was a bit disturbing also. I’m happy that I had the opportunity to see one.
