This interesting yellow and black spider with three pairs of spines on its back is called Gasteracantha hasseltii or Hasselt's Spiny Orb Weaver. Found several specimens of this species in my last expedition to Lawachhora forest. It is typical of this spider to have elongated middle pair of spines unlike Gasteracantha arcuata in whose case it is the last pair that is elongated.
Wonderful dosto :)
