User's notes
The images show a small Bird-dropping spider waiting patiently on a leaf for passing prey. The first image shows the rear view which appears to be camouflaged with face-like features including two ears, eyes and a mouth. The spider is sitting in its typical posture, with a slightly elevated front end and with its legs drawn up around its eyes. This leaves just enough space between the legs to peer through. Thanks to Marcus for the initial sighting.
