ID: Two striped jumping spider/Telamonia dimidiata
A gorgeous specimen of the jumping spider, this one was prowling through a dried up moss covered tree, almost blending into the dried yellowish foliage of the tree bark. The spider tried to maintain safe distance from the resident ants, which were busy traversing the tree with their own activities, and this frame was from that moment when the spider moved to the tip of a bark that was having slight elevation, off the usual surface, and kept an eye of the movement of the ants, eventually jumping back in and continuing the search for a favourable prey.
EXIF:
Canon 80D
Canon 100mm macro
F/14
Shutterspeed 1/160
ISO 250
Handheld, External flash remotely fired
Location: Manpada trail, Thane
