Description:

Tiny spider less than 1 cm. The abdomen looks like a mozaic from above, with the vivid orange and white color on below. The special thing is the eyelashes-like hair on the forth legs (pic 5).

Habitat:

Found in my backgarden, have no idea where did it can come from..

Thanks Shekai & Shanna.. You're right Shekai, this is O. fastigiata, I think the juvenile one :)

Im not really sure, maybe its the sexes or the regional locations are some factors of the differences.

Beautiful.
