Field Notes

Description:

Bride and groom :-) Found this pair hiding under a patola/luffa leaf.

Telamonia masinloc Barrion et Litsinger, 1995, a jumping spider of family Salticidae. Looks a lot like the two-striped jumper, Telamonia dimidiata, but the latter does not occur in the Philippines.

Habitat:

Backyard.

Bride and groom really ! 2nd one is very nice :)
Thanks Marta! I saw first the male peeking under the leaf. When I turned over the leaf, I was surprised to see it beside a female under the web. This was my first time to see the male, and it's the largest jumping spider I've seen so far :) I had a previous spotting of a female - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14903072 :)
