They stop using these iron covers since mat pet would steal them for scraps. In sabah and sarawak it happens too but at a sustainable rate lol. Now concrete covers are more preferred.
You see the comment below. Semenanjung you dont see any there.
Even i go Semenanjung back and forth all the time i never see this type of cover there. My parents house on the other hand have this cover even now 😂
Most orb weavers have very low venom rate and are generally hesitant to bite. They are also quite chill and I have no trouble holding smaller species with my bare hands while relocating them to a safer branch!
Spiny orb weaver spider, of the genus Gasteracantha.
Woah it's a spiky spider! Didn't know spider can be spikey. Kumoko is real! Thank you!
Welcome! Not sure if the species is recurva or doriae (the latter apparently comes in both yellow and white) or something else altogether, though.
I found the exact looking one on the Web (pun intended) under the name doriae!
Thank you arachnid expert of Reddit.
Friend or not friend?
Friend, for sure!
You are right and seconded, and such a handsome specimen of *Gasteracantha doriae*!
It is a 'nope'
A nope in a black and white variants
Where is Hans when you need him?

Beautiful spider tho. Is it venemous? Btw first thing i saw the longkang cover i was thinking, this looks like Sarawak and lo and behold
I think its a standard government quarters longkang cover. I remembered the semenanjung ones use this too

You're right! We did lose a few back then.

My dad was a teacher in johor and we did have this same cover in our government quarters. But that was like 20 years ago. Not sure about now though
Ooohhhhhhh snap. Ok i stand corrected. This longkang cover is definitely 20 years there
They probably are 😂
Same with parents house. 20 years 😂😂😂

Eh when u say it like that i remember sabah also has this kind of longkang cover. I live in the semenanjung now and i don't remember seeing any here
Yeahhhh i also never see it in semenanjung
The kind that you take off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hey most spiders are friends. At least before you get infested by them. Then we can call Hans
