Comments & ID Thoughts

Took this while in Kauai at the Mcbryde botanical garden. Had no idea what species it was and was amazed by the pattern. Taken with Olympus Tough F2.0 with the macro setting.

https://spiderid.com/spider/araneidae/thelacantha/thelacantha-brevispina/ This is a Double-spotted Spiny Orbweaver. This is only the fifth photo we’ve received of one. The pattern looks like a face, which might make it look like a larger animal than it is to a predator. It would be a great mask for a tribal warrior. Thank you for sharing her with us!
