I again managed to find an X-shaped spider behind my house, this is the most unique type of web spider in my opinion, like most web spiders in general, this spider spends almost its entire life on the web. However, the uniqueness of this spider can be seen in terms of its color and pattern on its body, the size of this spider also varies, some are small and some are large.

This spider has a very large population in my area, we can find it almost anywhere. I believe this spider is venomous, so it's recommended not to mess with it. Even when I wanted to photograph this spider, I chose to find a safe way and keep my distance from it. Any movement would make this spider move and become aggressive, perhaps because its size is still relatively small, this spider isn't that scary.
I managed to photograph this spider from both the front and the back. I also tried to photograph it with a macro lens, but I was unsuccessful because the spider felt disturbed and ran away.
