Orb Weaver Spider

Thank you..

Very Cool!

Wow! Awesome spot Jason!

Thanks a lot Dave..

Looking at my images, the eye arrangement is the same as psittacinus. It is definitely not a local variation, as the French link was photographed in Sulawese.

How's your French!

Hmm, I agree, there are differences that cannot be ignored.

Cyrtarachne is a genus with a similar shape, but I cannot find a green. I have lots of images of the same, identical spider form. I will keep looking, but it may well be a local variation, but of what!

Thanks for the ID Dave! You're right, but I'm not sure that's A. psittacinus.. The bluish color and the yellow mark are different...

Stunning spider ! Loved it :)

What a gorgeous spider and great pictures!

Awesome spotting, Jason!

Very beautiful!
