Jumping Spider

Adorable spider!

thanks Karen !

Very cute!

thanks Adarsha !

Nice spotting Nuwan...

That's great.

of course not Jolly :)

Absolutely no Jolly ... :) it is always a friendly discussion here on project Noah .... and believe me its fun ...so much to learn from everyone :)

I hope I did not offend anybody. By the way, you have a beautiful spotting.

much appreciated your help Jolly !!

I was just having a friendly comparison. Who knows when we try to share ideas, we might be able to look for some answers. I also agree on Brettus sp.

thanks again Atul, agree with you on Brettus sp.

Yes Jolly, there are not many images in internet to compare with !!

The hind leg positioning is very much suggestive of a brettus sp. ....usually the hind legs are close to each other in rest position but due to the full abdomen they are not joined together .

Looks like Brettus adonis but the abdomen looks different.

thanks a lot for the ID Atul !
and thank you Jolly for trying to help !

Could be a Brettus adonis ..... not sure though ....only one sp. noted in Sri Lanka :)

The front legs loo ks like a common housefly catcher (Plexippus petersi) but the abdomen looks different. Could be she's just full and the abdomen is distended.
