does it have a painful bite ...?

Well, that explains why so many spider monsters in anime and tokusatsu are so colorful with yellow and red. Neat!

Ever hear of "Red on black, friend of Jack. Red on yellow, one dead fellow"? Booger-mike (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't know anything about spiders---in fact I'm petrified of them, but I think the one in the latest image is a different variety than the one profiled on this page. Isn't this one considered a "banana spider"? Those are pretty common around here in South Korea. The photo I uploaded a few days ago was notable, for me, in that it didn't look anything like a banana spider, so that's why I noticed the differences between this and that. Just raising the issue, that's all SolitaryThrush 06:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Banana spider" refers to ALL golden orb-weavers, which would include this species, but other species as well (such as Nephila clavipes or Nephila inaurata). NoriMori (talk) 20:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It says here that the female's body size is 17 - 25 mm, but that's only 1.7 - 2.5 cm, and the spiders in these images look much bigger than that... So I'm wondering — do these measurements include the legs, or are they ONLY referring to the body? (i.e. abdomen, thorax, head.) Also, is it referring to body LENGTH or body WIDTH? Does anyone have an image showing a size comparison with, say, a hand? NoriMori (talk) 20:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This thing ia alternatively referred to as such, right? I mean, I suppose you can call it that if you want Booger-mike (talk) 21:17, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
