Telamonia masinloc
Bride and groom :-) Found this pair hiding under a patola/luffa leaf. Telamonia masinloc Barrion et Litsinger, 1995, a jumping spider of family Salticidae. Looks a lot like the two-striped jumper, Telamonia dimidiata, but the latter does not occur in the Philippines.
Backyard.

Excellent series! Well done.
Thank you Vishal :)

Thanks Rieko :)
Thanks Jill! :)
Nice series
Thanks Marta! I saw first the male peeking under the leaf. When I turned over the leaf, I was surprised to see it beside a female under the web. This was my first time to see the male, and it's the largest jumping spider I've seen so far :) I had a previous spotting of a female - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/149... :)
Nice encounter!
