I found this spider in my backyard, at the back of my house there is a forest that probably came from there, I researched and the species I found but similar was identified above.
I think it is Micrathena fissispina. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/773411-Micrathena-fissispina I have not seen it before. It is a species that makes orb (circular) webs that look like the spiderweb emoji. I wonder if any predators eat these spiders….those spikes look effective.
