Can you tell me the correct name of what is locally called a “crab spider” and the proper name of the flying insect also included. These were photographed in Key West, FL. Thanks…

P.S. an absolutely brilliant site!!
Hi Don,
Your spider is a Crablike Spiny Orb Weaver, Gasteracantha cancriformis, and the flying creature is a species of Crane Fly.
