This spider lives all over Australia, and can often be found spinning a web out of yellow-coloured silk. A Golden Orb Weaving Spider’s web can be up to one metre in diameter – this spider needs a spacious home, as it never leaves its web!
They are magnificent spiders aren't they. I don't mind them in the garden unless their webs are3 spread across our patio and give you a fright when you walk into them when going out to the dustbin at night.
