About this flag

Golden Orb-Weaver Spider

  • Element 1: Emblem

    Aesthetics - striped legs

    The Golden Orb spider has striped legs specialised for weaving. Their contrast of dark brown/black and green/yellow allows warning and repelling of potential predators to which their venom might be of little danger.

  • Element 2: Pattern

    Aesthetics - strong webs

    The web of a large Australian spider is so strong it could be used for skin grafts and bulletproof clothing. The golden orb-weaving spider's silk could be up to 100 times tougher than synthetic products used today.
