Not sure why the link in my ID suggestion just says "none." Weird. I put this link there: http://www.araneae.unibe.ch/gallery/photos/taxId/521/Synema_globosum. Cool spider, and nice shot!

The drawings on her back are amazing. Never seen it. That can only be a warning for predators (guessing). At least I wouldn't put my finger near it. Thanks for sharing. Great spotting.
