Arachnura melanura
A very bright yellow spider that mimics a dead leaf. Total body length is 2cm. I found out that it is more active at night.
I found it on our eggplant garden.
Thanks to ChunXingWong for the ID.

Yup, really crazy, thought at first it was a scorpion. Thanks zapabio.
Wow, what a crazy one !!!
Great photos of this amazing critter. Congratulations.
Thanks kuya Noel.
Amazing find Shekainah!!! Mabuhay!
@ Sumukha Javagal, well the web is not really a neat one, the silk goes in random with no significant direction decorated with wrapped dead prey remains. Maybe because the garden where he inhabits is constantly disturbed by human presence.
wow!
Very beautiful series Shekainah
wow
