Poltys sp.
Looking like a wrap-around-spider but more twiggy.
This spider was found on Cherry Ballart (Exocarpos cupressiformis) along the roadside.
The wrap around spider is sometimes quite common and may be represented by several species. Spiders with this 'twig' dorsal apppendage are more scarce. The only other one that I have seen is probably a different species and shown here. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/727...
