Field Notes

Description:

Large...no, HUGE spider in web.

Habitat:

Mounts Botanical Gardens in West Palm Beach, Florida. In bushes/tree area. Web is very extensive.

Notes:

This is very similar to the spider I posted a couple of days ago but, to my untrained eye, is not quite the same.

Sorry, Jakubko! I am working from an iPad and those pictures are little! I am attempting to remove the picture but am having trouble; I will make sure it is corrected but will be out of touch for a week.

Hi Elaine! Photo one seems to be a different species from photos two and three. Could you upload it as a separate spotting? Thank you very much!
