Nephila size

[Ameiva]

Hi,
I shall like knowing that she is the biggest Nephila in the world.
Anybody knows this species and its size?
Thanx

Nephila pilipes (aka N. maculata) is native to southeast asia (taiwan, malaysia, etc.) and full-grown legspan can be at least 6", maybe 7".

 

[Arachnomaniak]

I had a couple of this genus come in (species wasn't fully identified by the source) that were a good 5" or so as adults which I though was huge for a true spider! I would love to see the 6"-7" ones!

Don't quote me on that, I don't know much about it. I think 6-7 inches is for a large specimen.

Is N. pilipes the largest non-hairy spider?

Thank's
I look for Nephila clavipes exchanged for centipedes, scorpions or others. This somebody has this species to him.
