@theoyoyoyo submitted: Found this cutie in my garden at Brasília, Brazil. I believe it's a shorthorn kitespider

The shorthorn kitespider is actually found in Africa! Your friend is a similar species, the spinybacked orbweaver, Gasteracantha cancriformis.

Happy spiny spider

They are very small spider, look like plant seeds or thorns hanging on a spider web for human eye. They look very sharp but actually harmless to humans

I made some quick bug studies the other day, so I thought it would be a good idea to share them

Question for the Spider side of Tumblr & Wikipedia / iNaturalist users!

So, I was trying to identify the spider used as a referance for this piece of art:

At first, I thought it was a Long Spiny kite orb weaver (Gasteracantha falcicornis), now I'm 90% sure it was a ( Gasteracantha curvispina ). G.curvispina has no wikipedia entry, which is how I found G.Falciornis. However, iNaturalist has tonnes of G.curvispina photos, as well as a template for making a Wikipedia article. I am neither an Arachnologist, a resident of the African continent, nor a super-super nerd on either subjects of them ( though I do like to research both). It isn't, like, rude to create a new species page on Wikipedia when I'm just some guy, right? As long as I link sources. That's why iNat has that template, right? Also, G. curvispina has no common name in english despite being in several casual english web articles. How do I gaslight the public into calling it the Deviled Egg orbweaver Spider?
