Species and fun facts-Gasteracantha ArcuataFemale long-horned orb-weavers have tough, shell-like abdomens armed with three pairs of spines. The spectacular middle (median) spines project upward and outward, curving in toward each other along their length. They are up to three times as long (20-26 mm) as the abdomen is wide (8-9 mm). The front (anterior) and rear (posterior) spines are short, relatively inconspicuous, and roughly equal in length.
The upper surface of the female abdomen ranges from yellow to red or even white or black and is marked with black sigilla. The ventral surface of the abdomen bears yellow or orange marks, and the median spines can show a bluish iridescence.
The male of the species measures only 1.5 mm, with stout, conical spines.NOTE: If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base.
