We have a lot of these spiders hanging in the mangotrees and their name is Fred! But I would like to know the officiale name. Any spiderlovers on the forum?

Fred is an Orb Weaver spider I think. Do a seacrh on this forum and there are a few threads on this same type of spider. If you do want that type identified you can post your pic of it at a certain website and they will identify it for you, but I can't remember the name of the website offhand. Its in one of the threads though.

Check out the webs, there is often a very small spider on the edge of it, that's the male, the big one is momma spider, so maybe Fredricka is more appropriate.

One hel_l of a big momma!!! Thanks for the info Bkkmadness, I'm going to check the threads!

Hei,mitmig !!
