Two Spined Spider

I saw one of these in my garden a few years ago but, despite often looking, I haven't seen another until I spotted this one at Karangahake Gorge. This is a female.

A most unusual looking critter and new to me. A great find and shot.

I've just googled these - as have never seen them. This one seems to be upside down!

@christinav Yep, it is - the head and legs are the black bit at the top but it was this way up on the plant it was sitting on.
