Females can reach a body length of up to 5 cm with a leg span exceeding 15 cm, and are capable of spinning vast, incredibly strong webs with silk that gleams gold in sunlight – strong enough, famously, to ensnare small birds and bats. Widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia, this species is a pinnacle specimen for any serious collector. Dry-preserved to museum standard, this example captures the full scale and magnificence of this extraordinary spider – an unrivalled centrepiece for any arachnology collection or artistic display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for arachnologists, entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 2","offer_id":46807333470397,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":46807333503165,"sku":null,"price":96.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 10","offer_id":46807333535933,"sku":null,"price":144.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 25","offer_id":46807333568701,"sku":null,"price":287.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/nephilapilipesfmlJv.jpg?v=1779195583","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/en-ca\/products\/nephila-pilipes","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
