Description:

A twig habitat
A marvelous species that i have ever come across!!
Still wondering what it is? A twig mimic spider(Ariamnes sp) with its egg sac. Yes you read it, a twig mimic. I was able to spot it only because of its egg sack.
What an evolutionary marvel. Its behavior, its location, every thing mimics of a twig. I wonder what all spiders can mimic!!
With just few strands of web, i'm curious to see how it hunts. Hope i get to document this behavior very soon!!
