Green Island
Snorkeling and walking through the rainforest were the highlights when I was there for the day. I saw a huge black spider (bigger than my hand) suspended in a tree, a few feet above my head. I've never been able to find out what kind of spider it was. The memory of the spider was haunting. Does anyone know more about the spiders on this island?

The female Golden Orb Web spider is one of the largest web-building spiders in tropical north, did it look like this?
