Yes Yogesh. I had a spotting of the same spider from Madhya Pradesh and was not aware what was the tiny spider in it. Searched wiki and found that the spiders are small. I had read it a long time and was not aware of the fact. Thanks for sharing the info.

Thanks Satyen. True, the males are very tiny and not so colourful even.

Lovely spot. I think this has to be a female and a tiny male should have around right?
