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

The most punk rock spider

@Brewser thats all we need, another negative connotation of spiders being bad. I noticed that, too.
