This very neat creature was found by my two arachnologists in our very own back yard. We took it tonight with us to Red Lobster, where my oldest son preceded to name it and tell everyone it was highly poisonous. It was contained, just so you know. I told him we would get home and google the info on it...He was mis-informed. It is not a crab spider and it is not highly poisonous. This is a Spiny-Backed Orb Spider. Very common in Houston/and surrounding area gardens. Healthy gardens, that is us...Woohoo!
Enjoy this picture of God's most amazing creature.
