Field Notes
Description:
A small orbweaver species from the Argiope genus. Possibly A. chloreis. About 7mm in length, this spider looks like a female. It built a small orb web under a large leaf. Similar to other Argiope spiders, this spider decorated the center of it's silk web, with zigzag spirals. It is also lime-green in color to camouflage with the green vegetation.
Habitat:
Under tree leaves on the hill in Agop Batu Tulug Archaeological Museum, located beside the highway between Sandakan and Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Notes:
Map accuracy : 1km diameter. This is the first and only time I have spotted this species so I would say that this is quite a rare one.
