      Was this spider on exhibit or was it a wild spider just hanging out?

      This is wild, as is everything in this gallery. ;)

      Cassowary House is a bed & breakfast, not a zoo. They have wild cassowaries visiting their property, hence the name.

      That is a very cool looking spider! :cool:

      I think it is a Golden Orb-Web Spider (Nephila pilipes).

      it is indeed. N. pilipes can be recognised by the bright yellow spots on the legs.
