The Nephila clavata

''Nephila clavata'', also known as the Jorō spider , is a member of the golden orb-web spider genus. The spider can be found throughout Japan except Hokkaidō, in Korea, Taiwan and China. Due to the large size as well as the bright, unique colors of the female ''Nephila'', the spider is well-favored in Japan.

Recently scientists have confirmed the first known occurrence of ''N. clavata'' in North America.
