  • The golden silk orb-weavers (Genus Nephila) are a Genus of spiders noted for the impressive webs they weave. Nephila consists of numerous individual species found around the world. They are also commonly called golden orb-weavers, giant wood spiders or banana spiders. In North America, the golden silk orb-weavers Nephila clavipes are sometimes referred to as writing spiders due to occasional zigzag patterns built into their webs ,
