Wow thanks Karen... great research! It's even in the same position... Wonder if this one is also laying eggs! Pity it was taken so long ago or I'd check! But probably not if it's a wise spider. Those petals drop too quickly...
No worries Pam! We always encourage members to check the ID suggestions to make sure they agree with them before updating the spotting details & to leave comments asking for more info if they don't agree. Even the experts get it wrong sometimes & a debate in the comments is always a learning opportunity!
Thanks Karen, I wondered about the ID...
Not a bola spider which have a very different form & are in any case not present in India. Poss. N. rumpfi.
thanks Wilson. do you have any reference to this species being found in India? Wiki didn't mention Asia?
