NO ONE goes off trail in this park! Or at least they don't come back. Numerous - and huge, about 4-5" across, on webs about 3' across. Second photos show cautious males above and behind these scary females.
I saw this in Cope National Park in Panama. Does anyone know what species it is?
This is a small spider, about 9 mm head-abdomen length
