Field Notes

Description:

While scanning around the camp for some insects on an angling night out, spotted this spider hanging upside down! Has a pair of white spots on its abdomen. Body length (head-tail): 13mm.

Notes:

Surprised to see to the extent these spiders can go to camouflage itself. To me it appeared as though commandos hanging from nets for some action!

Yes; after 3-4 shots with my mobile it simply darted into the bush!
