About Nephila pilipes

Nephila pilipes, the Giant Golden Silk Orb-Weaver, is one of the largest orb-weaving spiders on Earth and among the most iconic arachnids of the Indo-Pacific region. Females can reach a body length of up to 5 cm with a leg span exceeding 15 cm, and are capable of spinning vast, incredibly strong webs with silk that gleams gold in sunlight – strong enough, famously, to ensnare small birds and bats. Widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia, this species is a pinnacle specimen for any serious collector. Dry-preserved to museum standard, this example captures the full scale and magnificence of this extraordinary spider – an unrivalled centrepiece for any arachnology collection or artistic display.

Perfect for arachnologists, entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics.
