Description

Spotted in the grounds of the Monteverde Butterfly Gardens on a tree, but not in the butterfly enclosures.

This leads me to believe this is not a captured or cultivated spider.

Description

Spotted in the information area of the Monteverde Butterfly Garden.

Described by the Garden as one of three (later, two - one was killed by one of the other orb-weavers) Orb-weavers who have become residents of the Garden.

However, I do not believe they are captives or cultivated by the Garden itself.
