Thanks, @Lauren :)
Marvelous little fellow! You find the most notoriously marvelous things!
Thanks, @ChunXingWong for the ID, and yes indeed, without lighting, this Spider looks all black in colour.
Yes. It is a Gasteracantha diardi. Under the sunlight it looks black but under a strong camera flash it turns red.
