Red spider (Florinda Coccinea)

[ClaudioG]

I think , maybe, this is is the species Florinda coccinea. Obviously an Arachnid.

Hoping to hear from Geoff to be sure

I have other positions and close ups but i like this one for the web. Im not one for top images, but again, i like the web and i feel its legs are placed quite well.

Great shot and most interesting looking spider. Other images might help in identifying it, as well as size, location/environment.
It really doesn't look like Florinda coccinea, so far as I've been able to determine. Florinda coccinea seem, for starters, to not have black legs such as this one has, and this color combination is likely diagnostic.
It looks like it *could* be an orb weaver, and contrasting colors, (red w/black legs and black spots on the abdomen) suggests a warning to predators. The web looks way to organized to be a widow (Latrodectus), not a ground spider. Head on shot to determine number of eyes would help, possibly ventral side as well.

Nice shot Claudio, not the friendliest looking one to get up close and personal with. I had a very cute little jumper the other night that had its two front legs on one side missing but it did not seem to slow him down.
