I hate spiders. I have never seen anything like that. If I saw that anywhere near me I would be gone so fast. Yikes.

But nice shot for getting closer than I would

Great to see the spider photos showing up again. It must be spring!
Very nice photo, Adi. It appears to be = Entelegynes » Orb Weavers (Araneidae) » Gasteracantha » Spinybacked Orbweaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis) from BugGuide.net This is a good example of the web designs (not Internet webdesign ) that are the reason they are called Orb Weavers. About 3500 species of OW.

We had a Spiders thread going for awhile but it fades away in the winter.

Very cool looking though...size doesn't matter ...
I just love how mother nature camo's some of her critters,almost looks as though it has a shield on it's back.

Thanks for finding out the exact name of this Spider Species they do call as Spiny Orb Weavers, Physically they look very scary but actually they are very harmless little creature.

Quote:

Orbweavers are generally harmless and can be a nuisance when they build large webs in places inconvenient for humans. Despite their formidable appearance, orb weaver spiders are not considered dangerous.

For more info about it refer to Here

No matter how small, this thing freaks me out.

Thanks to whoever though of these:

For those who aren't familiar with it: it's an electric flycatcher. Some spiders really stink when you fry them on these things...
