Golden Orb Web Spider

Depending on the weather and the time of year, they suddenly appear - the silk spiders with their rather large webs.
The time of web-building usually begins in February.
Here again, some like them, others run away "screaming".

Uthai Thani Province is described as an undiscovered destination in the southern part of northern Thailand, where few tourists venture. The area is characterized by mountains, pastoral nature, and an abundance of local attractions. One of the most remarkable attractions is Tham Hup Pa Tat. It was originally a cave that collapsed, forming a basin, pit, or crater among the massive limestone walls. After the collapse, the plants were covered, but they began to regrow in this basin. The decay of the limestone created mud and fine soil that retains more moisture. The result was a valley crowned by high limestone rocks, resembling a Jurassic Park, completely isolated from the outside world. The conditions of partial sunlight, high humidity, and absolute seclusion have led to the accelerated growth of ferns and unique palm trees that were once common in the prehistoric era but are now very rare. The main plant is Arenga Pinnata, also known as Tat or Tao in Thai, a palm species belonging to the Arecaceae family. In Thai, Hup Pa Tat means a basin, a large hole, or a small crater Hup, jungle or forest Pa, and an area of Arenga Pinnata Tat. Other trees such as Ficus benjamina and Firmiana colorata are also found in the area. This area is impressive due to its lush vegetation, expanding wildly around stalagmites and stalactites. During visits, rare animals such as elongated tortoises and the pink dragon millipede can be observed. Because of the many flying insects you can also find Giant Golden Orb Weavers. Observing these spiders in their natural habitat can be a captivating experience due to their impressive size and the intricate beauty of their webs. However, caution is advised to avoid disturbing their environment.

Giant Golden Orb Weaver thrive in warm and humid areas and are often found in wooded areas, with many flying insects. The striking golden yellow color of the female and the large, complex wheel-shaped web make this spider a striking appearance in the natural environment. The female is considerably larger than the male, with a body length ranging from 3 to 4 centimeters, excluding the legs. They are known for their striking golden yellow color, with intricate patterns on their abdomen. These spiders are experts at weaving and construct large, intricate orb webs, often strung between trees or shrubs. The silk they produce is incredibly strong. Prey can include butterflies, moths, beetles and other small insects. Observing these spiders in their natural habitat can be a fascinating experience due to their impressive size and the intricate beauty of their webs. However, caution is advised to avoid disturbing their environment.

Uthai Thani Province wordt beschreven als een onontdekte bestemming in het zuiden van het noorden van Thailand, waar maar weinig toeristen naartoe gaan. Het gebied wordt gekenmerkt door bergen, pastorale natuur en een overvloed aan lokale attracties. Eén van de meest bijzondere attracties is Tham Hup Pa Tat. Dit was oorspronkelijk een grot die is ingestort en een bekken, put of krater werd tussen de enorme kalkstenen wanden. Na de instorting werden de planten bedekt, maar begonnen ze opnieuw te groeien in dit bekken. Het verval van de kalksteen creëerde modder en fijne grond die meer vocht vasthoudt. Het resultaat was een vallei gekroond door hoge kalkstenen rotsen, die lijkt op een Jurassic Park, volledig afgezonderd van de buitenwereld. De omstandigheden van gedeeltelijk zonlicht, hoge vochtigheid en absolute afzondering hebben geleid tot een versnelde groei van varens en unieke palmbomen die ooit gebruikelijk waren in het prehistorische tijdperk maar nu zeer zeldzaam zijn. De belangrijkste plant is Arenga Pinnata, ook wel Tat of Tao genoemd in het Thais, een palmsoort behorende tot de arecaceae-familie. Dit gebied is indrukwekkend vanwege zijn weelderige plantengroei, die wild uitbreidt rondom stalagmieten en stalactieten. Tijdens bezoeken kunnen zeldzame dieren zoals langwerpige schildpadden en de roze drakenmiljoenpoot worden waargenomen. Door de vele vliegende insecten kun je er ook de Giant Golden Orb Weavers aantreffen. Deze grote spinnen gedijen goed in warme en vochtige gebieden. De opvallende goudgele kleur van het vrouwtje en het grote, complexe wielvormige web maken deze spin tot een opvallende verschijning in de natuurlijke omgeving. Het vrouwtje is aanzienlijk groter dan het mannetje, met een lichaamslengte variërend van 3 tot 4 centimeter, exclusief de poten. Ze staan bekend om hun opvallende goudgele kleur, met ingewikkelde patronen op hun achterlijf. Deze spinnen zijn experts in het weven en construeren grote, ingewikkelde wielwebben, vaak gespannen tussen bomen of struiken. De zijde die ze produceren is ongelooflijk sterk. Prooien kunnen onder andere vlinders, motten, kevers en andere kleine insecten zijn. Het observeren van deze spinnen in hun natuurlijke habitat kan een boeiende ervaring zijn vanwege hun indrukwekkende omvang en de ingewikkelde schoonheid van hun webben. Toch wordt voorzichtigheid aangeraden om verstoring van hun omgeving te voorkomen.
