Field Notes
Description:
This species is a predator that specialized in hunting other spiders. Male, about 8mm. Spiders of this genus are known as the most intelligent spiders for their ability to plan their strategy in capturing preys. Their slow and shaky movement with appearance looking like forest detritus help them to camouflage well to avoid detection from preys and predators.

Habitat:
On the Canopy Bridge in Tawau Hills Park, Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia.
