What a wonderful find ! I hope arachnologists in Sri Lanka get to see this record. I think this is where it is really important to have information on habitat, even if you don't provide the exact location. Well done, Bhagya !
Thanks a lot dear friends for your lovely comments
Amazing spider and an amazing find! Excellent spotting Bhagya!
That is one of the spectacular spider i have ever seen! Still how many varieties of spider are there on earth! Way to go girl..congo :)
Thank you so so much for the Id and the information Atul.... Im so happy to capture her
This is an excellent and a rare find ! This Platythomisus genus of crab spiders is NOT reported from Sri Lanka And is a rare find in India as well . A range extension paper was published in about 2005 in India . This could very well mean it is a new record from your country . All the best :-)
