Austracantha Minax_Melanic

Melanic or black variant of Austracantha minax (Jewel spider, Christmas spider), Budderoo National Park.
I used to see spiders with "spines" on their abdomens all the time in the heart of Texas (where I'm from). They were cool. At that point in time I wasn't really into collecting (I was a child intrigued by nature and left it be). They would web up in between small braches in trees and other areas. I wouldn't mind having one, though. :)
