I found a Gasteracantha cancriformis in my yard a few years back. The spider made it's web between two shrubs, I was in awe of it.

I can't even imagine seeing something like Macracantha arcuata in real life.

Never saw those in person yet

I’ve only seen one species of these amazing spiders

The long horned definitely is one of the most amazing arachnids I’ve ever seen

Most of the depections of demons or the devil with horns, and commonly cloven hooves, comes from a millenia of christian propaganda in efforts to stamp out paganism.
Get over it.
