A scared predator

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Lynx spider

Spotted this beauty crawling along the bark of a tree. Looking at the exquisite beauty of it I tried tracking it and clicking some frames. After a moment it fled off and took refuge under a hollow portion of the tree, probably it was scared or agitated by the huge flash diffuser that was popping and in front of it and always kept looking at it, as in this frame. But after some time it finally came out and moved off, almost neglecting the diffuser and the lens

EXIF:

Nice details. The reflection of the flash can be seen in its eyes. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
