Gasteracantha kuhli is a species of spiny orb-weaver spider in the genus Gasteracantha, widespread from India to Japan, the Philippines, and Java in Indonesia.

[2] Female black-and-white spiny spiders are 6–9 millimeters wide and possess hard, shiny abdomens armed with six black conical spines.

The upper surface of the abdomen is white to yellowish with variable black or dark brown markings and sigilla.

The central part of the abdomen's dorsal surface is usually marked with a dark cross-like shape.

Males are much smaller at 3–4 millimeters in size, and in place of spines, they have small bumps on their abdomens.
