Quote from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrtopho…
Cyrtophora unicolor is a species of spider of the genus Cyrtophora. It is known as the red tent spider.

The species shows sexual dimorphism, where the male is small and with faded colors, whereas the female is much larger and with a brilliant red color.[2] The female is 17-20mm in length.

The red tent spider builds a large three-dimensional web in vegetation, which is a common feature of members of the genus.
