About Gasteracantha diardi

Gasteracantha diardi, Diard's Spiny Orb-Weaver, is a striking arachnid found across the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Like all members of the genus Gasteracantha, it is distinguished by its rigid, jewel-like abdomen and prominent lateral spines – a form that has long captivated naturalists and artists alike. Named in honour of the French naturalist Pierre-Médard Diard, this species carries both scientific and historical significance. Dry-preserved to museum standard, this specimen displays every vivid detail of its extraordinary exoskeleton – a rare and compelling centrepiece for any serious arachnology collection or artistic display.

Perfect for arachnologists, entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics.
