Why are we named Nephila?
According to Bermuda folklore, the silk spider Nephila clavipes is known for its ability to predict bad weather. It is called the “hurricane spider” since it spins its strong, golden web close to the ground when a hurricane is approaching and high up in the shrubs and trees when the weather is nice.
The silk web of a mature female can reach one meter in width, is particularly strong and is golden colored. The Nephila spider is also sometimes called the “Golden silk orb-weaver”.
