Hehe very nice, and by the way the website is wrong since that is by no means an Heriaeus sp or any Thomisidae in general. That is a Pycnacantha sp. (Araneidae), which actually means "densely covered in spines". There's only 4 species known, all from the Afrotropical region. Judging by the location where it was found (S.A.) its probably Pycnacantha tribulus.
