A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thiania bhamoensis
This female Fighting spider was on a Turmeric plant. I used to observe her regularly. But whenever I tried to photograph her she would escape into her hide, which was constructed by sticking 2 large leaves together with silk. One day I found her about 2 feet away from her hide and utilized the opportunity to photograph her. :-) She was a real challenge to photograph as I had to hold the leaf she was on in my left hand and shoot with the right. The camera setup was weighing my arm down and I was constantly cursing the muscle fatigue until I managed to get this shot. :-D
