🕷️Trichonephila clavipes

Trichonephila clavipes (Linnaeus, 1767)

Trichonephila clavipes (anteriormente chamada Nephila clavipes), conhecida pelo nome comum de aranha-de-teia-amarela, é uma espécie comum de aranha. Vive nas regiões mais quentes das Américas, podendo ser encontrada da Argentina aos Estados Unidos, o que inclui também o Brasil. Suas grandes dimensões, seu formato exótico e sua bela coloração a tornam distinta entre as demais aranhas. Como é comum nas espécies dos gêneros Trichonephila e Nephila, a fêmea é muitas vezes maior do que o macho.
