Asemonea tenuipes (female)

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Sharing a record shot of a female Asemonea tenuipes. Had previously shared an image of a male- Asemonea tenuipes (male) - Indiawilds: Land of the Tiger. Conservation, Wildlife Photography, Communities. As you can see, the species is sexually dimorphic (the male and female look very different). The female is usually to be found resting on the underside of leaves while the males are active. Both are about 7-8mm long. I had photographed both these at Karnala (near Mumbai) this summer.

Cropped. I had included the water drop for a rough scale depiction of the size of the spider.

Thanks, C&C welcome.
