    I'm not sure this is Gasteracantha cancriformis, it seems a species mostly occurring in the Americas. It could be another species in the Gasteracantha genus though. Cool spider! Posted 3 years ago

    Yes I believe you are right. I thought all spiny Orb Weavers were cancriformis. Woops! Posted 3 years ago
