Spotting

Notes:

All I can say about this species is that if she had not moved, I would have never seen her! About 12cm, found in the trunk of a tree.

Looks like a fusion between a Tree Trunk Spider and a Huntsman Spider. I cannot think of a better ID than that.

Remarkable camouflage! I thought at first it was a picture of Lepidoptera frass and had to blow it up to find the spider!
