Tree-trunk/Two-tailed Spider

Family Hersiliidae

Description:

Length: ~1.20cm Season : Summer season Time : 3:00am 03Jun2021 Frequency : Very Rare Life stage : adult

Habitat:

Spotted inside the car parking very close to open abandoned area with lot of plants.

Notes:

It is in the same position for many days. Too tough to recognise as it nicely settled down (subsided) among the tiny wall bumps and it's body color matches the wall texture perfectly. Able to see only with mobile flash on. This is a good example for crypsis by Camouflage, corresponding Camouflage method being Colour matching (aka Background matching).
