Field Notes

Habitat:

It is uncommon to spot this little creature in the rainforest although has been spotted by me at the rainforest state park. This is due to it commonly can be spotted at human dwellings. After all, I spotted it just outside the cafe kitchen of our state park.

Notes:

This ma'am has her own tunnel escape if her web is being intruded especially upon by the spider-eating jumping spider Portia. Paranoid or an optimist? I say she's an experienced survivor..
