Christmas jewel spider, Austracantha minax, Araneidae
This species, found throughout Australia, should not be confused with the American species of spinybacked orbweaver, Gasteracantha cancriformis. As seen in the photos, colors and markings can vary by individual.

A beautiful Jewel Spider (Austracantha minax). Endemic to Australia, and the sole species of the genus Austracantha.
These macros turned out surprisingly good, considering she was moving around so much. I like that you can see her feet hooked around the strands of silk as she's climbing.
Jewel Spider, female (Austracantha minax).

#2878 - Macracantha hasselti - Hasselt's Spiny Spider
One of Pauli Kidd's photos from Kerala, of one of the many orbweavers in the Gasteracanthinae subfamily that have spikes on their abdomen - in fact, that's what Gasteracanthinae basically means- 'spiky butt'.
One of a number of species named after Johan Conrad van Hasselt (1797-1823), a Dutch physician and natural historian who sent thousands of specimens from Java back to the University of Leiden before dying of exhaustion.
The spider is found from India to Indonesia.
Kerala, India.
