Who’s up for some camping? The Jewel Box Spider, also known as a Spiny Orb-weaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis), is a diminutive spiny spider that resembles a tiny, jewel-encrusted box. It also resembles an outdoorsy, hockey mask wearing, park enthusiast who likes to take long walks by the lake. Good times. These spiders mainly prey on whiteflies, moths, teenagers, and beetles. Have a great weekend! Did you hear something?
