There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The web description fits a Golden Orb Weaver, but the spider i saw definitely isn't the Golden Orb Weaver.

Tarantula's are in Nepal, but the ones they acknowledge are there are tiny in comparison to the spider i saw.

Perhaps the works of Binish Roobas, an Indian naturalist based in the UAE who has written on spiders and other arthropods, and just recently identified a species of Himalayan butterflies occurring in the Hajar Mountains of eastern UAE (see my post here), could be the key: https://www.wam.ae/en/details/1395302827557
