three Australian Golden Orb females, pictured here from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), offering a nice look at the change in colours and patterning over their 1 year lifespan. hopefully some males will appear in the web of the oldest female soon. interestingly, the second and third spiders are both missing the same right leg.
Australian Golden Orbweaver, 3 female individuals (Trichnephila edulis).

And now for the two (2) clear frames I got from the video I took standing on my tiptoes to hold the phone close enough.
In these ones you can actually see the male!
I planned to make a video talking about this species but getting the camera to focus was too absurdly difficult. These frames are from two separate fractions of a second when the camera was refocusing.
I'll use this photo to make another lineness digital painting because this one's super pretty :)
[Image description start.
Two photos showing the same two golden silk spiders hanging in a web in front of several grapevines in each photo, with the only different between the photos being a slight different in the position of the spider from the wind moving the web.
The largest and most noticeable spider is the female, and she has a very large, long abdomen that is orange on top and red on the sides. Her cephalothoroax, or head section, is flat and white with black spots where her eyes are, making it look like her head is a candy skull. Her legs are long and orange, with fuzzy blackjoints that narrow at the ends to look like long claws.
Just above her on the web is the much tinier male, who is mostly a dark silowet, with some faint stripes visible on his legs.

This is a Golden Orb-weaver, from the London Zoo
Fact from Findaspider : The web is remarkably strong and has a characteristic yellow colour as does the fluffy egg sac which tends to be left in the tree the spider was using for support. Nephila/Trichonephila webs normally contain a string of debris masses which are the remains of insects the spider has eaten. The tendency to produce such a string is rare among orb weaver species so this is a useful identification feature.In many parts of south-east Queensland this species is present in very large numbers, especially throughout the warmer months of the year. It is common for a single dead tree to have as many as 30 individual golden orb-weaver webs attached to it.

ashley graham spider
Trichonephila clavipes of the family Nephilidae! She spins beautiful golden silk. Her orange opisthosoma reminds me of Ashley’s style, plus she has little leg warmers just like a Y2K girlie!
