Field Notes

Description:

The Cryptic Rest Posture !
The Brettus sp. was for quite some time synonymised with Genus Portia.
The Genus Brettus has quite a few similarities with the Portia... " The Cryptic Rest Posture" being one of them ... when at rest the spider pulls the legs close to the body and the palps besides the chelicerae !
