Poltys illepidus
Undoubtedly one of the most bizarre-looking orb weavers out there, the Tree Stump Spider not only has weird-looking "horns" on its abdomen, it rests in a relatively awkward position too. This helps the spider camouflage very well on tree branches and twigs.Tree-Stump Spiders are nocturnal and build large webs at night.
