Hi! A few days ago I found this spider in my garden. It's very tiny, only 1cm legspan. I love it's pattern. Can somebody tell me what spider is this? Is this a common house spider? What does it usually eats? Will it get bigger or is this already an adult? Tbh, I never think nor research much about spiders. But I have a few tarantulas and it has only been months. So i'm pretty new here 🙂 Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 20201016_193834.jpg

Not sure on the species but it’s an orb weaver. They make big webs, not great pets unless you can give them lots of room.

yeah, that's definitely an orb weaver. I know because I have seen something similar but it was in Australia, not Indonesia. They make massive webs. The one I saw made one about 50-60 centimetres tall.

She is of the genus Araneus. There are about 650 species in that genus discovered so far around the world. I hope you let her go so she can find a good spot for her big round web. :) Very pretty spider.
