Golden Silk Orb-Weaver, Nephila sp.

There are more than 150 species out of this genus. I found one that has a unique visual of the ventral view.

When viewed from the underside, there is a human-like face and a rib-cage. The spider was found at 1000 m above sea level in the shrubs of the rain forest, Pahang, Selangor, Malaysia.
