Hi Gerry,

Great Shot! Your spider is a Crablike Spiny Orb Weaver (Gasteracantha
elipsoides). It's found from North Carolina to Florida and west to
California. It eats small insects.

The spiny orb-weavers (genus Gasteracantha) are a type of spider. They are also commonly called Spinybacked orb-weavers, due to the prominent spines on their abdomen. These spiders can reach sizes of up to 30mm in diameter (measured from spike to spike). Although their shell is shaped like a crab shell with spikes, it is not to be confused with a crab spider.

Gasteracantha cancriformis (the crab spider, spiny-backed orbweaver, spiny orbweaver spider, crab-like orbweaver spider, crab-like spiny orbweaver spider, jewel spider, spiny-bellied orbweaver, jewel box spider or smiley face spider) is a species of spider.
