Phaeacius lancearius
Very few pictures found on the internet, all from around Burma and Malay Peninsula. Unlike other jumping spiders Phaeacius is unusually sedentary, generally resting in its unusual flattened pose for hours or days on logs, pieces of wood or any other solid surface, where it is very well camouflaged. Its preferred prey is moths and other insects, and jumping spiders. (Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeacius) Size: 1.5cm (body only)
