About Macracantha arcuata

Macracantha arcuata, the Long-horned Orb-Weaver, is one of the most extraordinary and instantly recognisable spiders in Southeast Asia. Its defining feature – a pair of dramatically elongated, curved lateral spines that can exceed the length of its own body – makes it unlike virtually any other spider in the world. Found across the tropical forests of the region, this species is a prized rarity for serious collectors. Dry-preserved to museum standard, this specimen showcases its spectacular spines and intricate body patterning in full – a truly exceptional centrepiece for any arachnology collection or artistic display.

Perfect for arachnologists, entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics.
