    Default The don of the leaf

    ID: Spitting spider
    Usually seen inside a leaf that has been intricately rolled in to form a refuge for the predator, these beauties tend to stay calmly waiting for some unsuspecting prey to pass by its close proximity, only for it to spit out the web and catch them. These, usually spotted during the monsoon season, not sure if they are seen in the other seasons too, look pretty primitive as compared to the other arachnid, apart fr0m the , not so much related, harvestman. This particular one seemed a bit disturbed by my presence, it came out of the safe area, probably in an attempt to run off from the limelight, but it seemed as if it was intimidating me, by posing on the edge.
