Saw it in Maui and just had to take a picture. Ever seen one of these?

I have seen bugs similar to that in Florida. They were black with red spikes instead of white. But same basic concept. Not really sure what they are thou

Those were all over the place in southern florida where I grew up. Not sure of the exact type of spider they are but we always called them crab spiders.

edit - had to look it up, they are Gasteracantha cancriformis or elipsoides, aka spiny, crab, or jewel spiders...a type of orbweaver.

I saw them in the gardens we visited. I liked the bugs under water best though.

It is a spinybacked spider

I think their official name is
Gasteracantha cancriformis (Araneae: Araneidae)

I have a friend that lives in Hawaii and I would see them in her garden when I would go visit her. They are very cool and I love bugs but, it was quite a shock when I first saw one crawling on me by the pool. I think they bite but I am not sure if or how poisonous they are.
