Gasteracantha cancriformis
Photos show three different individuals, taken on the same day in close proximity. They appear to be the same kind of spider, with slight variations in their markings ... but let me know if I've gone wrong.

Thanks, mioriitsu. Adorably frightening ... now that's original!
This has to be the creepiest spider i'm surprisingly not scared of. He/She is adorably frightening!
Sure thing, Ava T-B, be glad to ... hey, do you think these are all the same species of spider? I eventually decided yes on that question, and it gave me a brain-wave about variation in appearance among individuals of the same species. I mean, people all don't look exactly alike, right?
