Gasteracantha spiders look like tiny aliens , their rigid, spiny abdomens aren't just for show. Those spikes make them nearly impossible for predators to swallow.

Gasteracantha cancriformis ist relativ gut erforscht. Das merkt man auch daran, dass es zu der Art sogar eine deutsche Wikipediaseite gibt. Ein sehr lesenswerter Artikel.

Photo of an orange spiny orbweaver spider (gasteracantha cancriformis, I think?) at the center of a web, against blurry bokeh light filtering through trees. It has prey.
