Parawixia Dehaani

Parawixia Dehaani, a spider species native to Thailand, stands as one of the largest orb-weaving spiders globally, with a body size reaching up to 4 cm and a leg span extending to 9 cm. Its striking golden and white striped appearance makes it a favorite among arachnid enthusiasts. Thriving in Thailand's tropical and subtropical forests, this spider constructs expansive orb webs to ensnare its prey. In this role, Parawixia Dehaani plays a crucial ecological role in regulating pest populations.
