The Golden orb-weaver spider (Nephila clavipes) is the only species of golden orb-web spider indigenous to continental North & South America. They're harmless and only bite when assaulted. Their bite is milder than a bee sting. The name of the golden silk orb-weavers refers to the color of the spider silk, not the color of the spider itself.
