Comments & ID Thoughts

Found in shaded forest. The web is large, over a meter in diameter and placed horizontally three meters from the ground. Maybe Opadometa?

Wow! Gorgeous spider. Yes, it looks like it could be a Opadometa but the only one I see listed for the Philippines is Opadometa fastigata and it doesn’t look like that so I can’t give a species suggestion. Maybe an undescribed sp. or range extension for one of the others. There is another like yours on project noah with the consensus being Opadometa sp.. If I find another similar genus I’ll let you know. Welcome to Spider ID!

Yes, I uploaded some photos on project noah almost two years ago, hoping for id, but had no luck. Thank you!
