Poltys columnaris
Initially this insect was thought to be the dry bark falling from the dried twig. Later when it started moving, only then we realized it was an insect, may be a different insect that has a good camouflage. Closer inspection revealed that it had 8 legs, the major characteristic of any spider. Then we searched for the exact ID. https://www.flickr.com/photos/karthikakm...

yea it does..
Found another individual after close to 10 months over 150 miles apart from the place where i found my first specimen.
Brilliant find. It still looks like dry bark.
