Strange spider
I was wondering if you could help me identify this spider. A friend of mine shot it while on a trip and shared this photo with me.

Hi Francisco,
We have been known to ignore identification requests that do not include location information, but your spider is so interesting, we are posting despite not knowing where it is from. We suspect it is in the genus Micrathena. It matches a photo of Micrathena gracilis, the Spined Orbweaver, we located on Bugguide quite closely.
