in a quiet and natural forest, I had an extraordinary opportunity to explore amazing wild life, one of the most amazing moments was when I found Macracantha hasselti or also often known as the "golden horned spider", at that time , I was exploring a path that cut through a lush and dense forest, sunlight came in brilliantly between the dense leaves, and it created a magical view in the middle of the forest, my steps slowly led me deeper into the balance of nature this fragile one.
suddenly my eyes were attracted to something sparkling among the grass, as I approached, I noticed the presence of a golden horned spider hanging gracefully between the branches of a low tree, Macracantha hasselti is an interesting species, with its small but decorated body with long horns on its body, while the bright gold color on its body makes this spider very striking among the green tree leaves, I immediately took my camera to capture this rare moment, and to be honest, this is the first spider I have found since I did some exploration in the forest, and today I feel very lucky because I found a unique and very beautiful species.
after finding the insect I try to set the right camera settings to get all sides of the spider, I try my best to make each photo a stunning work of art and show the wild beauty we share with you all, the soft natural light of the sunset giving a magical touch to the images I took, creating an interesting contrast between the golden spider and the lush forest background
for a few moments I was silent because I admired this fragile natural beauty, Macracantha hasselti is not only physically beautiful but also a symbol of grace and resilience in the wild, as you know they live among the leaves and face natural challenges such as extreme weather and also Insect hunting predators, but this spider found a solution to survive and reproduce, I think this is part of the miracle of the universe regarding how to care for and protect every living creature.
today's experience adds to my gratitude because there are still natural habitats in this part of the world, forests like the place where I found the golden horned spider are home to various species, and I always believe each of them has its own role in a complex and fragile ecosystem, the existence of every species including Macracantha hasselti reminds me of the wonders of nature that we must preserve and protect for the future.

Such a cool animal and you really shown us from all the angles. Thank you for that. Never seen anything like that. Keep them coming :D
thank you very much, this is the first time I have found this type of spider, but I don't dare touch it, I am worried that if a spider bites me it will turn out like in the Spiderman movie hhahaaaaa
awesome choice. And normally a bright yellow like that in nature it can mean poisonous
yeah you're right, and for this photo I didn't edit it and it's all as it is :)
Great macro work!
