One Last Shot from Previous Philippines Trip

This as a small specimen of this spider. The tree in which it lived was filled with spiders like this one. This shot was taken in the lowest branches of the tree about 6 feet above the ground. In the canopy of the tree large members of this species could be seen in their webs while I was standing on the ground. I estimate the tree was 50+ feet tall. I asked some locals about this kind of spider and I was told the can eat birds. I certainly would not climb this kind of tree because each one of these trees contains hundreds of these spiders. This one spanned close to 3 inches from leg tip to leg tip.
