Saw one taking up its web this morning. Lovely little thing, with another fifteen feet away in shade who felt it was Ok to leave the web up a bit yet.

I suggest that your spider is also a spiny orb wever in the genus Gasteracantha.
Would suggest you contact Christopher Hunt at koinegeek@yahoo.com for confirmation. Thanks for your interest
