I am a female Spinybacked Orbweaver
I'm easy to spot with my big red spines
My mate is quite a bit smaller than I
And he doesn't have spines like mine.

Note: Check out the bugguide link below - I've never actually seen a male Spinybacked Orbweaver before.

Location: Oyster Bar Marsh Conservation Area, Vero Beach
