hi prasan,
very good and attractive spider you captured here. very interestng pose, waiting for next meal. sorry, cann't help with ID. you should have concentrated on the spider itself while cropping, the big white bud is negative aspect of this image, no doubt, you did it for the sake of composition. may be you have got better viewpoint. tfs.

Cool HP! I have not seen a purple one like this before..mine was white as was Alexi's...but your frame did it justice in colours. super clear with 60 percent cropping. I tel you....between you Ram, Pankaj, Parthasarathi and Sumon...India is so well covered in high quality images...very good!

Hi Haraprasan,

A wonderful macro of this spider. I think I've only seen pictures of white crab spiders. The clarity of the little thing is wonderful - amazing after such a large crop. I'm going to check back to see if the ID is confirmed.

Very good focus on the frontal portion of this tiny Spider, HP.
Even if you had cropped off the OOF flower bud in the foreground, the picture of the subject would lose none of its appeal.
Well done and TFS.

I wish I could identify this for you, my dear friend HP, but I can't.
I love the POV/DOF!
Very well done!

Hi Haraprasan,
Very nice frontal macro of this Crab spider. POV is very interesting. After 60% crop details are well preserved.

It resembles "Brown Crab Spider - Sidymella bicuspidata" of Australia. I'm not sure. Pl. visit this site regarding Brown Crab Spider: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_spiders/BrownCrabSpider.htm.


Thanks for sharing another new new species.

Hello Hp, Very nice shot and I agree with Nagraj the bud is actually damaging the view. But it is not affecting the quality of the shot. Well done Ganesh
