Description

The Seychelles palm spider or Nephilia inaurata can be seen all over the Seychelles. The female with a total diameter from 20 centimetres, and a body length of 6 centimetres is a very impressive spider. Its web can have 1,5meter diameter, and the threads are among the strongest in the spider world, and can hold young birds and fruit bats. The males are 20 times smaller than the females and spend their life in the females web. Luckily it's harmless!
