You nailed it: Gasteracantha cancriformis. the yellow ones aren’t as common in my area of northeast SC 🙁 good picture!
I ran smack Into her web! Relocated her to a less traveled area, lol
I have accidentally walked face-first into these spiders more times than I care to admit. Make the same “euggfffhhh” sound every. single. time.
