Some type of jumping spider hiding in the tree in my garden in the hills above Bandung.

I promise I will get around to it, well busy here just now. One day I hope to have nothing better to do than snap pictures of bugs and load them up... hopefully once the builders have finished :D... and thank you for the kind comments.

Marvelous find and well photographed. I do believe this could be a hyllus diardi male. Generally accepted as the largest in the world of the jumping spider species. I haven't found a good ID reference yet, which is why I am suggesting only in the comments. I have photos of this species too, but not posted yet. Hop you add it to the 'wild Bandung' mission, a valuable addition. Dave
