Phrynarachne melloleitoa
this is a female, i think, as she is with a dried leaf containing presumably eggs. She is very much alive but also dying, she was sort of responsive/protective holding the leaf, but her color is dull, eyes are not shining anymore... very strange....

me too!!!!! i feel like the mother checking up on her every day! cant wait! Thank you Chun!
Yes, Crab Spider as it's common name is fine.
I don't think she can move the eggs somewhere else so she have to stay and guard her eggs. Sometimes animals can be better mothers than human.
I will be looking forward for the little ones.
Thanks Smith'sZoo for both the greetings and this link.
