Found this beautiful specimen while I was jungle trekking in Singapore. These specimens were all over the jungle.

I read somewhere saying that these spiders make the biggest and the strongest web. It gets its name from the golden colour of its silk.

Unlike other spider webs, the Golden Orb Web Spider's web is not dismantled often and can last several years.

That was what I thought too. But I surfed through some sites about this spider, that was what it stated.
