Another post reminded of how wonderful this group is, some of the most wild looking spiders out there.

What do you guys have in your area? Or, collections perhaps.

Let's post pics with Latin name and country if possible :)

Here are a couple species from Taiwan I see regularly.

Gasteracantha kuhli



Gasteracantha sauteri





Thelacantha brevispina

None of these in Central Europe, only a few half-baked attempts by evolution. However these too are from the Araneidae family.

fits the same category, but I don't have any good photos of them yet.
