Looks like Trichonephila senegalensis. Are you in Africa or the middle east?
Sorry for the late reply, Africa.
Definitely Nephila. Golden Orb Weavers like this are common in the mid-Atlantic. We had one that looked exactly like this living in a boxwood bush in our front yard in Pennsylvania. Enormous, and beautiful.
I'm betting OP is in North America, probably East coast.
Huh. After looking at their other pics, it does look like they don't live in the US. You may be right on the genus, but darned if that doesn't look exactly like our lady.
Definitely Nephila.
In 2019 a lot of Nephila have been reclassified as Trichonephila. A lot of sources aren't up to date with that.
I’m betting OP is in North America
Pretty sure he's not, I know the species there. He must be in Africa or Asia. And my match in Africa is pretty good ...
Going by OP's comment/post history, he's from Africa. So that's that.
