Wow great! It's awesome to be nominated! Too bad I can't really find any more info bout habitat about that specific species.. I'll try looking into it some more, maybe a more general habitat description of other Gasteracantha is easier to find!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Superb looking spider. We have some from the same species in Malaysia but not like the one you showed .
