Dave, I was also looking at your spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/272..., but could not find a good match yet. Hope you get something from the PDF to ID it :)

Agnes - the PDF is a terrific document, thanks :)

Hi Oneng, I think I found the species of your Spiny Back Orb Weaver - Gasteracantha fornicata, and this one is a female.

It is of Australian origin, but in this paper, it is described as already distributed in other locations including Java. - http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/57/57r....

Here's one from Indonesia: http://www.fobi.web.id/fbi/v/arachnid/f-...

Another one from Australia: http://www.oceanwideimages.com/categorie...
