ID: Jumping spider
While trying to capture some robust looking ants busy moving along the a tree with charred bark, there seemed to be some really swift motion. On close observation realized it was a big, dark jumping spider prowling through the bark and curiously observing somethings. While trying to frame it, it caught attention of the camera lens and kept curiously looking at it while rigorously moving its front palps? The intensity f the movement kept on increasing and reducing and as the flash went off it intensified again, later, almost after a minute or so, it stalled moving the palps and moved ahead. In an attempt to capture the swift motion I reduced the shutterspeed and tried frame it
