This is the Darwin's Bark Spider, or Caerostris darwini. If you've ever wondered just how big spiders can make their webs, then this is the spider that you'll be looking for. These orb weavers produce some of the largest webs in the world. The webs alone can go up to 28,000 centimeters squared in area, and their anchor lines can be up to 25 meters in length (or 82 feet, for those of you more comfortable with those units).
As for why they'd need such incredible webs, well, that's because they build their homes right across rivers or lakes. They're pretty much the only spiders that really do this, which is definitely a little crazy. Still, it's very impressive!
