Field Notes

Description:

This is a funny spotting. When I did the picture I was aiming at a moth in the same tree, a bit below. The spider (or at least spider-looking critter) is so well mimetized that I did not see it at that moment but only later when I was reviewing the pics. Hence, I only have one incomplete shot of it.

Habitat:

Sepilok, Discovery Center, forest trails.
