Hi, Toshimi, great spotting, great photography, very sharp and fantastic colour rendition!
ToshimiDowaki
Thank you Dan. I assigned Gasteracantha for this species.
Dan Doucette
I see that on your other spotting, but only a few species from Gasteracantha moved to Macracantha, but I don't think this species did.

Thank you Luis and Dan! Dan, honestly, I'm a little worried. But it had a suggestion that Gasteracantha transfer to Macracantha at my spotting before. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17263451

Cool spider. Are you sure it's not a Gasteracantha species?
