Field Notes

Description:

The flatty Glider spider

The flattest spider that i have ever seen. It is flatter than the flattest two tailed spider and the huntsman spider.
It was resting on a bark of a tree. Saw one more in the crevice of the bark. Probably they rest in these crevices during day, as they can be seen only once it gets dark.

There was an article about gliding spider. This spider does look like one of them. Here is the link to the article
