Gasteracantha mammosa
Argy Bee, I placed this spider on my hand because its hard to take a shot while its on the web because of the never ending strong wind in the area. Now only did I realize that It does look good for a ring.
Amazing! The spottings like this make me thankful for Project Noah. Without it, we would have never known how cool this little tiny spider looks! Thanks for sharing Jolly!
I have edited this spotting with a general name. I still cannot find its exact species.
Yes Adarsha. I have to travel by plane. The distance from my place (Zamboanga City) to Manila where I found this spider is 536 miles or 863 kilometers.
Oh really...u r welcome...u need to fly to spot?? but its an awesome spotting...
Thanks Adarsha for your comments. I will try to document as much as I can when I go back to that place this January 2013. Its an hour flight from my place.
Oh really! One itself so amazing..Just can imagine how amazing if u spotted all!
Yeah - it looks like a mask from some lost civilization. There are others with different design but I can't reach it high on the tree.
