Gasteracantha cancriformis

Females are 5–9 millimeters (0.20–0.35 in) long and 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) wide.

Orbweaver bites are generally harmless to humans.

It is found across the southern part of the United States from California to Florida, as well as in Central America, Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, South America and certain islands in the Bahamas. It has also been sighted in the Whitsunday Islands, Australia, South Africa and Palawan, Philippines, as well as Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands and the Antilles.

This species of spider does not live very long. In fact, the lifespan only lasts until reproduction, which usually takes place the spring following the winter when they hatched. Females die after producing an egg mass, and males die six days after a complete cycle of sperm induction to the female.
