Makes me think of a little, mini dinosaur. Some sort of dinosaur spider. LOL A bit like the Stegosaurus or something.

Awesome creature!
I never have seen one before, but it also doesn't live in Europe.

I thought it looked like one of the enemies from the Mario Bros video games.

[EscapeGirl]

It's creepy looking. Eek.

I found it after typing in the right words in googlesearch. Its a Spinybacked Orbweaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis). Gonna leave this thread up in case other mysteries need solving.

[old biker]

never saw this before in my life
must be some kind of spider ,but the webb doesn't seems to be build to catch something small though

Have any one of you ever seen this animal? I sure haven't. With my glasses on I did not see it well and thought it was a lady bug who got caught in a spider net so I removed it. A few minutes later it was back on the spider web so I assume it belongs there and is the builder of it. Isn't it a weird looking thing, only about 4 mm wide.
