ID: Crab spider(Thomisidae) over its egg(sac?)
Spotted this beauty perched inside a curled up leaf/blade of the bamboo shoot. On close observation released that it seemed to be protecting the egg(sac?) that it had carefully laid inside. The parent didnt even move when we approached to frame it, but once we moved away, not sure if to be cautious, it surveyed the surrounding and cautiously headed back to the same position. The way its eyes popped out, while inside the curled blade was very interesting and almost resembled an octopus
