Please, rearrange your names, it should be Arrow-shaped Micrathena and Micrathena sagittata.

Thanks Ha Truong, MayraSpringmann, AaronG. I looked at the Micrathena I have some of those in the Garden, this one has different color and is long, in one side 2 spines in the other a blue cone. it makes a web every day and hangs a dry leaf or a leaf stick in the bottom of the web... for Balance?!

This spider looks like the Arrow shaped Micrathena but only in one side, I just can not find any with the 2 spikes coming out of the middle of her back?
