Is This Where Gold Nuggets Came From.

I thought you might find this interesting. The Spider is called a Golden Orb Spider that looked like it had a dull greyish body. But when I took some photo's of it using a flash I was amazed how they turned out. This spider was in the process of spinning some insects in it web.

Ive walked into these bast%#ds many times over the decades and although beautiful, they creep me out when you suddenly realize you're stuck its web and its crawling over you lol  They rarely bite but when they do, the pain is like a severe burn and it lasts for hours...

The web of a large Australian spider is so strong it could be used for skin grafts and bulletproof clothing. The golden orb-weaving spider's silk could be up to 100 times tougher than synthetic products used today, according to a research paper by University of Sunshine Coast researcher Genevieve Kerr
