Golden Orbs are web builders, and can grow quite large. The orb shown in the center was about as large as my hand.  Often, I'll see them with a hitchhiker on their back.  This is the male, the larger, prominent orb we recognize is the female. At first it was thought that the male was a dwarf.  Turns out the female is a giant.  Talk about Big Momma!! Once the web is established, a whole family of orbs may live together, as a web can grow very big, stringing between 2 shrubs or trees.
