Gasteracantha cancriformis, the Spinybacked orbweaver;
Volusia county, Florida (11 July 2015).
The Spinybacked orbweaver is a very small species commonly encountered throughout Florida and elsewhere across its range (from the Southeastern United States through Central American and much of South America). This is a fairly typical pattern for the Spinybacks we have in central Florida.
