ID: Crab spider?
One of the most interesting spiders I encountered in the trail, unlike the other crab-ies, this one was hyper active and almost reminded me of the comics/Marvel(Sony) franchise of the Spiderman. The speciality of it being the intensity with which it kept on casting web, in one instance, while it had hopped onto my colleague's cap, it almost jumped off, without any web string from the cap and in that mid air drop, it casted a web onto the neighbouring bush and almost flew off the scene, very much reminiscent of the Spiderman franchise. Here is one instance while it, for an instance, took some time off, and rested right on the tip of the leaf, but I guess it was still spitting off some web strings, probably onto some other plant, in search for the morning catch.
EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox
F/18
Shutterspeed 1/160
ISO 400
Handheld, External flash fired
Location: Nagla trail
