Brettus cingulatus

Brettus cingulatus

Description:

Golden colored Jumping Spider. About10mm size including the legs. This spider preys upon other spiders. To capture web-building spiders, the typical strategy is to stand at the edge of the web and pluck upon the silken strings with its pedipalps, trying out numerous patterns/rhythms until an effective one is found, then to lunge and capture/stab the spider when it gets lured over(aggressive mimicry). Brettus cingulatus does not adhere to spider silk and can walk on webs with ease, but usually does not go into the webs of other spiders. (wiki)

Habitat:

Spotted on a mango tree in my garden.
