like terracore said, because we have native 'Crab Spiders' its better to use Spiny Backed Spider as a common name for these... there are at least 2 species in the state, we have the ugly one. Oahu and Kauai has a pretty one... I used to catch them as a kid in Kaneohe
they are slightly poisonous but rarely bite.. certain times of yr, the pop explodes.. I hate them, fwiw, kill as many as you can, they are not native...

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
