First iNat records of Gasteracantha signifera
Gasteracantha signifera is a stunning black-and-red species from the Solomon Islands, and @devonderaad recently uploaded the first two iNaturalist records of the species:
There are very few photographs of this species available on the internet, and up until now none have been properly identified. Here are a few examples identified only as Gasteracantha sp.:

The Solomon Islands has other spectacular Gasteracantha species not yet recorded on iNaturalist (like G. scintillans), and so does neighboring Vanuatu. Keep your eyes open, and thanks to @devonderaad for sharing G. signifera with the community!
