googled all species described in http://books.google.co.in/books?id=9oVHO... this but it showed same images again and again.
same in case of my lynx spider spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/133...
still cant find exact ID after googling all species. :(
Wow!
Spectacular!
Ashish this is surely not a Lynx or a jumping spider .... its Neoscona sp. Male
Thank you Leuba , Chief and shekainah d. alaban.
Atul I have spotted similar Spider, what I can identified as a small spider only on my computer. I feel it is a kind of Jumping spider or Lynx spider. (I will post my spotting later)
great looking spider Atul -but what strange positioning of the legs; like a frog on his back ! good spotting and photos - thanks.
We call it here monkey spider.
Id Updated!
