Description

This was a tough shot. This guy is about 1/4 inch and totally out of position for a tripod. Plus the tree and web kept moving from the wind.

Spiny orb weaver spiders are easily recognized in Florida. This 1/8in to 1/4in spider is wider than it is tall and has an oval white shell on their back with red and black markings.

They are sometimes referred to as crab spiders because of their crab-like shape.
Spiny orb weaver spiders are not dangerous or destructive.
