Appearance
This species has historically been confused with ''Nephila clavipes'', with the main distinguishing visual difference being significantly smaller black hair tufts on the legs. As with other spiders from the ''Nephila'' genus, they have a distinctive golden web.
Behavior
Studies have shown that orb-weaving spiders grow bigger and can produce more eggs in highly urbanised places due to more food being available, warmer temperatures, fewer predators such as birds, and no pesticide chemicals. These spiders are commonly found in both urban and natural landscapes.References:
