Would be great if you can ID the species name so this spotting can show up in searches easily :-)

Thank you very much. Is it okay if I can request a large photo for the dorsal view? I would really like to zoom in and have a good look at the parasites for identification. It would be good if you can send it to my email - wongchunxing@yahoo.com Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing this. Never knew we can find this Sabahan in Sarawak too. I have been trying to identify the parasites associated with this species. It seems like this species of parasites only target this certain species of spider. Do you see those white things on the spider's head? I have seen the exact same thing in Sabah back in 2012. Do you mind if I can use your photo for scientific research? I will use it to share with other scientists to for discussions and I will mention your name as the photographer.
