A small orbweaver species from the Argiope genus. Possibly A. chloreis. About 7mm in length, this spider looks like a female. It built a small orb web under a large leaf. Similar to other Argiope spiders, this spider decorated the center of it's silk web, with zigzag spirals. It is also lime-green in color to camouflage with the green vegetation.
Under tree leaves on the hill in Agop Batu Tulug Archaeological Museum, located beside the highway between Sandakan and Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Map accuracy : 1km diameter. This is the first and only time I have spotted this species so I would say that this is quite a rare one.
