First I thought it was an insect. Then I thought it was a demented bird. Then I realized it was a spider. Silly me.... Great pictures! I'm adding the Atlantic Forest to my endless list of places I want to go.

Looks like a combination of the Star-bellied Orb Weaver and the Spined Micrathena Spider. Very very cool AGAIN!
