Last weekend, I took a shot of a “human faced spider” in Taroko Gorge (using my new Nikon D80). I’d never heard of this creature before so naturally I had to take a photo. It wasn’t until later on that someone told me this thing is dangerous.

This guy should be safe. It is a golden orb spider or Nephila pilipes. Here is a study from Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore. http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/50/50rbz153-160.pdf
