Finally, I found a native creature that I can post here. While most of the flower or insect that post here are not native animals or plants which is usually coming from a far away continent, this one give me a bit of a surprise.

At first, I thought that this spider is not a native species, but it is actually a native orb-weaver spider called Gasteracantha hasselti which is usually found from India to Indonesia.

Well, it is not fully an endemic species, but nice to know that this is a native animal in Indonesia. I really love the color of its back, and also the spike on the outside border of its back. It makes it a bit scary.
