What is tropical orb weaver?

Tropical orb weavers are a group of spiders that are native to tropical regions around the world. They are part of the Araneidae family, which includes over 3,000 species of orb-weaving spiders.

These spiders are known for their distinctive circular webs, which they use to capture insects for food. The webs are made out of a strong, elastic silk that can stretch and hold prey without breaking.

Tropical orb weavers come in a variety of colors, ranging from brown and tan to vibrant greens and yellows. They have large, bulbous bodies and long, spindly legs. Some species have distinctive spikes or bumps on their legs, which help them to grip and climb on tough surfaces.

Tropical orb weavers are generally harmless to humans, although they may bite if threatened. Their venom is not considered dangerous and usually only causes minor irritation or swelling. In fact, these spiders are often seen as beneficial because they help to control insect populations.
