I simple love these spiny orb weavers!

I'm still looking for the species of this one...

This is probably M. plana or M. triangularis. Where is it from?

Thanks for the ID! This particular one was seen in Caracas' Botanical Garden. I'm glad you liked it!

Yes, I think it's M. plana. It is a widespread species in South America, and at least here in southeastern Brazil it is the most common Micrathena.
