	Orb Weaving Spiders
		Golden Orb Weavers are found in dry open forest and woodlands, coastal sand dune shrubland and mangrove habitats, with Nephila edulis and N.
		In the Golden Orb Weaver group, it is common for a number of tiny (6 mm) males to live around the edges of a female's web, waiting for a mating opportunity.
		After mating, the female Golden Orb Weaver wraps her single egg sac in a mass of golden silk, which is then hidden on foliage away from the web, disguised within a curled leaf or sprig of twigs.

		But when the spider is fortunate enough to ensnare such game, it does not hesitate to make a meal of it, pulping the flesh between the fang-bases and extracting the juices.
