Unique, knobby looking spider.'They are remarkable for their intelligent hunting behaviour which suggests they are capable of learning and problem solving, traits normally attributed to much larger animals.'

Spotted this with Chun Xing Wong in Tawau hills park.
Hi Dan, I really have been making full use of the new spider book lately.
It really is helpful in helping me identifying my old unknown spider spottings.
Though I spend a lot of time on Project Noah these couple of days, I could not find time to add new spottings because my whole time is spent on updating old spider spottings. There are a hundred more spider spottings to go through only then I could start suggesting spider IDs on other users' spottings.
By the way, based on the book, this is a Portia fimbriata. Ashutosh.dudhatra's suggestion is correct then, don't forget to give him some credit :-)
Okay, I'm here to remind you again :-)
It's a jumping spider from the Portia genus.
It's the most intelligent spider of all the spiders.
