User's notes

This one was exciting to watch. It was moving around the trunk of the tree in what I call the 'hunter killer' mode. But every now and then it would stand still and wave its 'feelers'. The action reminded me strongly of an angler fish. Were I to give this creature its common name I would call it the Angler Spider.
