It's actually called a Golden Silk Orb-Weaver; I just call it a big freaking spider. It's over 2 inches long, which is much bigger than any spider should ever be.
I guess it really does spin gold-colored silk, and if you could stand to gather a million spiders and you had a spider-silking machine (which actually draws the silk out of the spider, and how creepy is that), you could make an incredibly beautiful silk cloth. But I could never, ever wear it - I would lose my mind from feeling phantom spiders crawling all over me.
However, no matter how freaky spiders are, this video about making the silk cloth is amazing to watch.
