Honey Filled Spider?


It seems that around every corner there is something new and interesting to see here in Bolivia. And this is a good example. As you have already found out, I’m not exactly what you would call a fan of spiders. However I can respect them when they are in their proper environment. Here is a spider we found in the garden of a friend.
 

I don’t have any idea what kind this is. But don’t you think that his colors are
fascinating? His abdomen is a translucent amber color so that it seems that his belly is filled with honey.


The hands you see in the pictures are several inches away from the spider and were mostly to give a neutrally colored background. I would guess the size is about 5 cm (2 inches) with legs extended.

Can you help us identify this spider? If you know or have an idea, please post a comment below in the box that says “Enter your comment...”. And if you can provide a link to a webpage that might provide additional information then that would also be helpful. Thanks!
