Hamadruas hieroglyphica
colorful lynx spider, female
tropical rainforest
Spotted in Tawau hills park.
Thanks for the species Chun and thanks Mark.
Great work guys. Definitely an attractive lynx spider!
Finally got the right species!It is a female Hamadruas hieroglyphica.H. superba is very similar but can be distinguish by it's smaller size.Reference - Spiders Of Borneo book by Joseph K. H. Koh &http://www.zoologischemededelingen.nl/83...
Thanks Chun, Paul and Rieko. I did see one image that resembled H. superba online Chun, but just to be sure, I just updated to the genus level.
It was a good decision you made back then to photograph this spider :-)
This is actually beautiful spider.
Another fabulous spider ,great coloration.
My best ID suggestion is Hamadruas superba.Either that or it's a new species.
