Epocilla calcarata
Salticid of about 8mm body length. Body is white with two red lines that start at the central pair of eyes and join at the tip of the abdomen; legs are almost translucent and become virtually invisible on a leaf. Wonder if these are warning colours.
Found on Koh Sriboya Island, among tropical vegetation at the edge of the beach.

Thanks for the nomination, Daniele!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated Felix!
My pleasure! Thanks guys.
What a stunner Felix. Thanks for sharing this.
Very pretty little spider.
