It's a Tree spider that's guarding its nest. She has been on the bamboo for a couple of weeks. If she stays around you'll be seeing more of her.

Hi Brian - I really enjoy the close-ups but I wonder if you could post a pic of the entire spider? She is definitely a wonderful creature for photos! Originally Posted by JBW

Brian, how large are these spiders? Real monsters or macro monsters?

They are wide spread but if Wiki is right they aren't in North America. Here's a shot from about 6' back. The bamboo is 5" wide Originally Posted by skitterbug

Re: Until I've had my coffee this is my happy face!
It's just possible that I was wrong. I know how could someone as brilliant as I am, a very stable genius, ever be wrong? But it looks like I was.
What i have been referring to as an egg sac may be her lunch. Seems they wait for a meal to pass by and then encircle it with silk trapping it on the tree or bamboo.

She really isn't too large - just really fierce looking! I'll take a look at your blog to satisfy the rest of my curiosity! Thanks!
