Thank you Pong and Jakubko for the ID information.
I assigned "Macracantha" :)
Thanks for the link, Pong. I see now, the whole genus did not transfer, just this species and perhaps a few others. :) Macracantha arcuata would be the correct scientific name, my mistake. Thanks for the correction, Pong.
Jakubko, You can update about transferred of spiders (FAM. ARANEIDAE) by Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History from this link http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/cata...
Yes thank you, I find it so lovely I have been reading about them. I will also check the link you send. Thank you.
Hi Gilma, the ID is Gasteracantha arcuata, and more can be read about it here: http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks...
That is some beautiful spider, how would they use those long horns?! would love to read more about it, hope you get an ID
PongWira, from my readings, I cannot find anything about a genus transfer of Gasteracantha. They seem to be two definitive genera. Do you have a source?
I've never seen anything like this before. Amazing. Thank you very much for sharing.
