Field Notes

Description:

This spider was bout 1.5 inches long and it was found on a tree. It was perfectly camouflaged against the bark and was nestled in a flat web against the trunk of the tree.

Habitat:

This spider was found on a huge tree in the Singapore American School Secondary Rainforest.

Notes:

This spider stayed very still until the last minute when it shuffled rapidly. First I thought the bark was moving!
