Are those Golden-Orb Weaver spiders ? Those things make MASSIVE webs that can catch small birds!

Also if you live in the tropics, either be friendly and cool and dont disturb them Or be gentle and cool and DONT disturb them. It is quite easy to pick off their web strands and let them rebuild a different layout not going across human paths.

In my young age I have handled these in the wild where very few humans tend to wander around. Unless you panic and try to squish them, they tend to be very docile and not at all aggressive. These things are very okay building in urban areas as much as in forests.

Not all spiders are equal. So treat nature with respect and stay the heck away unless you are some kind of scientist or specialist in spiders.

No, looks more like your run of the mill Araneus sp..

They still make pretty cool webs. Also if you want to see even more impressive webs, look up Darwin's bark spider.
