Field Notes

Description:

it is quite a big spider. the body would be around 1" long and the legs 3" long.. the overall colour is brownish yellow

Habitat:

found among the leaves.. it made a hide by joining two leaves and stayed inside.. the nearby brunches have several strings of spiders web here and there.. i suppose it is to alert the spider of any incoming prey..

I think it is a huntsman spider more than a lynx spider.
I've never seen a spider like this before - very cool!
