User's notes

The images show a small Bird-dropping spider waiting for passing prey. The first image shows the camouflaged rear view. As seen in the images, these spiders usually sit with a slightly elevated front end posture and with their legs drawn up around their eyes leaving just enough space between the legs to peer through.
