Rolled-Leaf Spider

Poltys idae

Description:

An amazing looking Spider, this my third time to see a Poltys Spider and this one is more special. This particular one has an interesting marking on its 'back-side' as though it has false eyes and the markings also looks like a 'face'. Spiders from the genus Poltys are known to build an orb web at night to capture prey and the web is eaten up before dawn and reconstructed after dusk.

Habitat:

Tropical forest
