Field Notes

Notes:

This spider was in the same plant (large Yucca) as my last post. It was suggested, by Liam, to be a "Gasteracantha cancriformis (the crab spider, spiny-backed orbweaver, spiny orbweaver spider, crab-like orbweaver spider, crab-like spiny orbweaver spider, jewel spider, spiny-bellied orbweaver, jewel box spider or smiley face spider)". Is the one I'm posting also an Orbweaver of a different species?

Hello. I moved this spider to the arthropod category for you :-)

You figured it out. You can join as many missions as you like, and you can assign each spotting to up to 5 missions. Have fun!
