Opadometa fastigata
Translucent orange thorax banded by blacks towards the half end of its legs might remind the finders to keep off as this may warn us of its venom potency. Found understorey of the forest, its was still on its initial stage of building the orb. Comb-like extra spine hairs may augment sensitivity to prey vibrations

Wonderfully crisp shot ! Nice shot of the curved hairs. Thanks.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing.
