Here is the macro object I captured today. It is Gasteracantha hasselti or commonly known as the Hasselt's spiny spider, a species of spider belonging to the family Araneidae. It can be said that this is a unique type of spider. The back has a crab-like shell with striking yellow and there are 10 black spots, while the spines (I counted 6 spines) are black. Does it have as many eyes as other spiders? I think it only has two dark black protruding eyes. The Hasselt's spiny spider is a spider native to Asia, it is commonly found in South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
