Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nephila clavata, also known as the Jorō Spider (ジョロウグモ(女郎蜘蛛、上臈蜘蛛) Jorō-gumo?), is a member of the golden orb-web spider group. The spider can be found throughout Japan except Hokkaidō, in Korea, Taiwan and China. Due to the large size as well as the bright, unique colors of the species of the female Nephila, the spider is well-favored in Japan. The female's body size is 17–25 mm, while the male's is 7–10 mm. After mating the female spins an egg sack on a tree, laying 400 - 1500 eggs in one sack. Nephila clavata pass winter as eggs and scatter as tiny juveniles in the spring. The life cycle ends by late autumn or early winter. Jorōgumo is a legendary creature in Japanese folklore. A Jorōgumo is a spider which can change its appearance into that of a beautiful woman. She attracts men, and once a man has been trapped as a result of her seduction, he will be tied up and eaten by her. Source: Wikipedia
