Golden Orb Weaver

     Scientific Nomenclature: Nephila Claviceps

      The golden orb spider, or Nephila Claviceps, usually resides in temperate regions of the world, and is notorious for their webs. Their name is due to the hue of their silk, which is the result of chemicals, including anthurenic acid, two quinones, and an unknown fourth compound. It order to camoflage its web in sunlight, the spider is capable of altering the intensity of this color to provide adequate subterfuge against the background hue and brightness of the sun.
