- Location: Polokwane, Limpopo, South Africa

The leg tufts suggest Nephilidae, and the tinted web, commonly called gold silk orb weavers.
Thanks BugmanDan
The web of the spider is orange colored, I am thinkin it’s a Nephila, not sure about species, if not this then it must be Argiope Aurantia, help me?
Nephila senegalensis.
