Got an opportunity to shoot this beautiful (and rare) spider during the weekend. This spider is a master of disguise and can really blend into the environment it is in. Enjoy.

Thats a really camouflaged spider.
A very good shot too.

Thanks guys. Was lucky to be able to see this at least once. I heard it's a very rare spider in Singapore.

**cannon_14595** · 21st Apr 2009, 10:43

Where did you find it anyway?

A really impressive shot! Your photographic skills have really improved a lot!

Thanks Benny.

**luenny** · 24th Apr 2009, 09:31

I'm going with NPSS people on their annual Fraser Hill trip. I'm not sure about researchers. The only researcher I know which may be going is YiXiong. Such, will be concentrating on macros. Especially at night when the tarantulas come out and play.

What spider ? I only see a branch !

**luenny** · 29th Apr 2009, 11:09

Yeah, that happen to us to when we were shooting. We were moving around to get the best angle and all of a sudden someone asks where's the spider. And then we realize it's still at the same place.
